Any such acts are unacceptable and strictly prohibited by the university. In addition, the law prohibits retaliation against an individual for opposing any practices forbidden under this policy, for bring- ing a complaint of discrimination or harassment, for assisting someone with such a complaint, for attempting to stop such discrimination or harassment, or for participating in any manner in any investigation or resolution of a complaint of discrimination or harassment. This nondiscrimination policy applies to admissions; enrollment; scholarships; loan programs; athletics; employment; and access to, participation in, and treatment in all university centers, programs, and activities. NSU admits students of any race, color, religion or creed, sex, pregnancy status, national or ethnic origin, nondisqualifying disability, age, ancestry, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, military service, veteran status, or political beliefs or affiliations, to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at NSU, and does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

6 NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Dear Friends of NSU, This last year has proven once more that Nova Southeastern University is thriving as an institution of academic excellence. Our Shark family includes nearly 21,000 current students at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels, as well as 2,000 students in the NSU University School, and it continues to grow. In the fall 2023 semester, we broke our record once again for the largest incoming undergraduate class, with 2,355 students, bringing our total to more than 7,000 undergraduates. Our wider Shark Nation includes more than 216,000 alumni in all 50 U.S. states and in 118+ countries. NSU had some notable academic achievements in the last year, including first-time accreditation for two of our colleges. First, the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine was awarded full accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. This accreditation was the final step in a six-year process for the college and its M.D. program. Then the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship earned accreditation from the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). This places NSU in an elite category, because only 6 percent of schools worldwide that offer business programs are accredited by AACSB. Additionally, although NSU received a full 10-year affirmation of accreditation in 2017 from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), without any recommendations for improvement or comments, each university or college must also go through an interim fifth-year comprehensive review, required by the federal government. This process ensures to the U.S. Department of Education that the institution is continuing to uphold the standards published in the accrediting agency’s Principles of Accreditation, thereby allowing its students to qualify for federal aid and grants. This year, after our fifth-year review, NSU received a reaffirmation from SACSCOC that we continue to perform without any recommendations or comments. This recognition speaks volumes to our commitment to academic excellence, program effectiveness, and strong financial policies and practices. I am grateful for the hard work that our deans, administration, and faculty and staff members have exhibited in order to gain such consistent recognition as we continue to strive for preeminence. The NSU Shark family has accomplished much in the last year, but there is much more ahead of us, because Sharks always keep swimming forward! Fins Up! George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D. President and CEO Nova Southeastern University MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT u

2024 FACT BOOK 7 OVERVIEW u

8 NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY N ova Southeastern University (NSU) is a private, not-for-profit, accredited, coeducational university. It is Carnegie-classified as both a high research activity and community engaged university. It was founded in 1964 as Nova University of Advanced Technology. In 1974, the board of trustees changed the university’s name to Nova University. In 1994, Nova University merged with Southeastern University of the Health Sciences to form Nova Southeastern University. Using 2022 fall term enrollment as a measure (the latest data available in IPEDS), Nova Southeastern University is the largest private, nonprofit institution of higher education in Florida, and the second largest in the U.S., with a Carnegie Classification as a High Research Institution. Additionally, in fall 2022, NSU was the 16th largest four-year, not-for-profit, private institution classified by Carnegie as either High or Very High Research Activity in the United States. The university awards bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, doctoral, and first-professional degrees in a wide range of fields, including the humanities, biological and environmental sciences, business, counseling, computer and information sciences, conflict resolution, education, couple and family therapy, medicine, dentistry, various health professions, law, marine sciences, performing and visual arts, psychology, and other social sciences. Nova Southeastern University has the only college of optometry in Florida, and one of only two colleges of pharmacy in South Florida. Institutional Description The university’s programs are administered through colleges that offer courses at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, as well as at locations throughout Florida; in Denver, Colorado; in Puerto Rico; nationally; in three other countries; and online. In fall 2023, 57 percent of the student body participated in face-to-face courses at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, 15 percent participated in face-to-face courses at one of our regional campuses, and 26 percent participated in exclusively online courses. With an annual operating budget in excess of $700 million, Nova Southeastern University has a significant economic impact, with a primary presence in the state of Florida. Through its undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs, NSU educated more than 11,000 Florida students in fall 2023. Nova Southeastern University had a $4.1 billion direct economic impact throughout Florida during fiscal year 2020–2021. The university also had an estimated direct economic impact of $3.4 billion throughout South Florida, and an estimated direct economic impact of $3.0 billion throughout Broward County, during that same time. With numerous funded projects currently in the pipeline at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie and Tampa Bay Regional campuses, it is expected that, by 2025, our economic impact throughout Florida will exceed $5 billion.

It was the first university in the United States to offer graduate programs in an online format, with the creation of the electronic classroom. NSU has been offering online programs and programs with an online component since 1983. NSU was also the first to use the Unix system to host online courses, and one of the first to use the Internet to support instruction. Some programs use a blended instructional approach with face-to-face instruction coupled with online resources and video components. Others use an on- line course area exclusively. Some graduate programs require students to attend short, intensive instructional units on campus (doctoral studies orientation, summer “institutes,” or a summer conference) as a part of their required program of study. Distance education students have access to educational support services, including the NSU libraries at nova.edu/community/libraries.html, technology support via a help desk, educational resources via electronic classrooms and the Internet, and computing resources on our Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus and at regional campuses located in Florida, Denver, and Puerto Rico. NSU students can participate in online courses from any location in the world with an Internet connection. Online courses use a web-based instructional platform as a centralized location for educational materials, course content, and communication—both synchronous and asynchronous. The online course platform enables a wide range of online activities that facilitate frequent student-teacher and student-student interaction. Faculty members and students interact in discussion forums via threaded bulletin boards, via real-time electronic classrooms that support graphical presentations and audio, and through online submission of assignments in multimedia formats. NSU provides an email address and a directory for publishing assignments and resources to the web for all students and faculty members. The Electronic Library provides access to online databases, many of which contain full-text documents. The development and implementation of distance education programs have become increasingly common as many colleges and universities have moved to the online venue. Nova Southeastern University has more than 40 years of experience in the development, delivery, and evaluation of distance education programs that have been used as models by other schools. Distance education students attend classes at times and places that are convenient to the learner—reflecting the mission
