2021 - 2022 COM Student Handbook

Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook 5 INNOVATION Innovation is the creative and deliberate application of teaching, research, scholarship, and service for effective education, and the development of useful products or processes providing a value added to the community. OPPORTUNITY Opportunity fosters the possibility for anyone associated with NSU to acquire an education or an educational experience through creative, yet sound, pedagogical programs. SCHOLARSHIP/RESEARCH Research and scholarship products are disseminated and evaluated through intellectual discourse, application, assessment, and other mechanisms of the relevant peer community. STUDENT CENTERED Students are the focus of institutional priorities, resource decisions, and planning. We are stewards of student needs and advocates for student academic success and professional development. (The Vision 2025 Statement, Mission Statement, and Core Values were adopted by the NSU Board of Trustees on March 29, 2021.)
