We Make It Easy

Nova Southeastern University will work with you every step of the admissions process. To us, you’re more than a test score or GPA. While you're thinking about the best way to reach your career goals, we're the one university truly dedicated to thinking about and listening to you. 

From our attentive professors and caring staff to outstanding academic and career support services, we're here to help you make a plan for your future—and then make it a reality. Start benefitting from the supportive environment we're known for, even before you step onto campus as a new student.

 

Getting started is easy. We’ve streamlined the application process—the essay is optional, and you can self-report your scores until you’re admitted. Plus, you’ll have a dedicated admissions counselor to help you navigate admissions and answer any questions you have.

We're here to answer your questions and look forward to getting to know you and the unique talents and perspectives you'll bring to our tight-knit campus community.
