Driven. Unstoppable. A Force of Nature. You're a Shark.

Sharks are dominant. They’re strong, fast and adaptable. Sharks always prevail. At Nova Southeastern University, we create Sharks. We give students the competitive advantage they need to become confident, capable, yet caring professionals.

The NSU experience is so much more than taking classes to earn a degree. It’s esteemed professors who become lifelong mentors. It’s supportive staff who care about your success and guide your path to help you achieve it.

It’s small classes with big impact, the excitement and camaraderie of a tight-knit campus community, and the incredible beauty of our destination location. It’s a one-of-a-kind, career-driven, life-changing education.

Looking for an Edge?

Prepare for a real career, real contributions and real life.

It’s a competitive world out there. Today’s college graduates need an edge to outsmart, outperform and outlast the competition. At NSU Florida, we’ll give you that edge from day one—then help you sharpen it. Professors get to know you and help unlock your potential.

They’ll give you the skills and confidence to thrive in internships or service-learning opportunities offered by NSU’s community and business partners. You’ll also have a dedicated academic and career coach for all four years to guide your career planning and ensure you get the practical experience you need to build a strong experiential learning portfolio.

Why should you come to NSU?

Listen to current students talk about why NSU was the right choice for them. Professors who care, small classes, internships and a location that can’t be beat all make the list.
