As shown in Figure 18, the university’s primary source of
income was tuition and fees from educational programs.
The majority of expenses (58 percent) was for instruction
(
Figure 19). Since fiscal year 2006–2007, expenditures
for research increased by 63 percent. However, total
funds available for research were low relative to four-
year, private, nonprofit research institutions nationally.
Nova Southeastern University only recently began to
increase emphasis on research.
