Nova Southeastern University - Beyond the Classroom

Nova Southeastern University has been defining and developing online and distance education programs for adults for over a quarter of a century. The sign of our success is that many other institutions are now using the NSU model. But Nova Southeastern University offers an essential difference. The programs offered online and through distance education are not a separate continuing educational service. Rather, the programs are in the mainstream of NSU's reason for being.

Providing professional education for working adults is the primary Nova Southeastern University mission. Through experience with doctoral, master's and undergraduate programs, we have shaped and assured the unique aspects of adult education. When it comes to online and distance delivery of professional education, NSU is the world's recognized expert.

About Nova Southeastern

Nova Southeastern University, founded in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1964, is the seventh largest independent university in the country and a pioneer of non-traditional approaches to high-quality education. It was the first university in the United States to offer graduate programs in an online format, with the creation of the electronic classroom.

What you learn here and how you learn it will not only change your life, it will change the world around you. Serving more than 15,000 students from almost 40 countries, NSU's Fischler School of Education and Human Services is one of the largest schools of education at an accredited university (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). The Fischler School has more than 30 years of experience in distance education. Our ideas, our approach and our programs inspire educators to inspire their students to move the world--online, onsite or on campus.

Nova Southeastern University is regionally accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's, master's, educational specialist and doctoral degrees.
