Lyndon Junior Communications THERE’S NO TELLING HOW FAR YOU CAN GO WHEN YOU START AT NSU. What began in 1964 with a handful of students and some very big ideas, has become the sixth largest independent, non-profit university in America. In just four decades, Nova Southeastern University has grown to encompass 27,000 students, 110,000 alumni, a stunning 300-acre campus in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and a presence in 9 countries around the world. NSU has earned worldwide recognition for renowned graduate programs in areas including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law and psychology. But for many of our students the foundation of their college education begins with a bachelor’s degree from NSU’s Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences. Here, the faculty is comprised of noted scholars from all circles of academia who remain actively involved in the academic arena through grants, published books, peer articles and speaking engagements on every continent. Small classes empower them to share their knowledge on a very personal level, and a challenging curriculum prepares undergraduate students for future success. In fact, 70 % of NSU’s pre-law and pre-med students get accepted to law and medical schools. NSU covers the entire spectrum of a classic Arts & Science education, with everything from state-of-the-art research labs to world-class performing arts space. And innovative programs including Dual Admission, Honors, Study Abroad and our Distinguished Speaker Series add even more depth to the undergraduate experience. But it’s the diversity of our student body that truly sets NSU apart. Students come from 70 countries, bringing with them a wide-range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and a world of life experiences. With world-class facilities, innovative academic programs and opportunities for active involvement, NSU provides a rewarding undergraduate experience. Which may explain why so many NSU undergraduates choose to attend graduate school here, too. NSU-G-3724 Horizon-Magazine LO2.indd 1 1/21/09 1:43:41 PM
