Everything You'll Need to Succeed
If you know your career plans require graduate or professional school, why wait until
you’re done with undergrad to plan for the future? With Nova Southeastern University’s
Dual Admission program, you can reserve your seat in one of NSU’s graduate or professional
programs while you earn your bachelor’s degree. Get a head start on your postgraduate
study from day one.
Launch your dream career faster with a program that matches your drive. Choose from
over 30 programs in business, law, medicine, health care, computer science, and more
as you dive into our career-launching programs, real-world opportunities, and a vibrant
campus community.
The Dual Admission program was pioneered for a select group of highly motivated students who have known their career path from an early age. If this sounds like you, be sure to apply early at the start of your high school senior year to prepare and meet all necessary requirements and deadlines.
Dual Admission is the biggest blessing. Having NSU there—knowing they want me in their medical school—is the best comfort any pre-med student could have.
