Nova Southeastern University Reviews

"Great program with excellent mentors. Discussing my education and experience with peers from other schools while interviewing for residency program has really given me a better sense of the quality of education at Nova. Nova and the faculty have prepared me very well. I feel very confident in my abilities and competency."

"The cost of the graduate is extremely high compared to a public institution including the higher cost of living in the area. However, if safety is a major concern- the campus is/feels safe due to the increase in cameras, help centers on campus. The Occupational Therapy program has very kind, passionate seasoned professors. It is easy to speak to them whenever you need anything. The program itself is not as academically challenging as the other health professions which leaves rooms to enjoy a social life and extra down time that most graduate-level programs do not allow."

"There is no problem with the College of Business Education. The professors are qualified and maybe more qualified than faculty at some other universities. In the doctoral program the quality of fellow students for the most part is really quite high. Many students in the doctoral program are older than average doctoral students and have already reached a level of professional success that other university doctoral graduates may never obtain. The issue at Nova Southeastern University has a very poor reputation with older academicians. I can't tell you the number of people in academia who think Nova Southeastern COB is an online program. It is not the case, though I have to deal with the perception all the time. The Nova Southeastern University College of Business needs to beef up the doctoral student instruction and requirements for publishing before you finish the program. Many top tier University PhD programs possess an advantage in the academic job market because they have more work published by the time they graduate. At the time I graduated, the COB does practically nothing to place its graduates in academia (or anywhere else)."

"NSU is a great school for higher education. Although it is expensive and time consuming, it is well worth it! Some of the pros of the DPT program at NSU is that there great resources available for students, amazing faculty and quality of education, as well as a beautiful campus with lots of socializing activities. Some of the cons of the program is that it is highly rigorous and taxing. I truly cannot wait for the day that I graduate and can proudly be an NSU alumni!"

"I appreciate how rigorous the Doctor of Pharmacy program is at Nova Southeastern University, and as a result I feel that I will be ready to work in any Pharm D. position in the future. I hope that the curriculum will become more global-based in the near the future, which will allow graduates to have the option to work abroad in other countries."

"I completed all course work in the program. When I went to write my dissertation. When he did finally reply to my second request for communication, he basically told me to go away. I was not supported by the Dean, who took 9 weeks and two messages to reply, or by the Vice President of Student Affairs, who promised to get back to me after his investigation, but never did. The faculty member did not follow the rules as they were described in the Dissertation Guide or the Graduate Catalog and no one at Nova seemed to mind that."

"My experience at Nova South Eastern has been excellent. The Professors are approachable, consistent, they follow-up with student concerns and questions. Generally all staff at Nova South Eastern, displayed good customer service practice. During my academic studies at Nova South Eastern I took ill with Cancer, and was not able to find any resources available to assist with the financial aide aspect, after taking a leave of absence. My studies were placed on hold due to an outstanding debt of 5,000 for classes I did not attend. I inherited a debt, which was acrued due to a mis communication with class withdrawals. Although my overall experience with NMova was great, I see a need for the school to provide better directions for those students that take ill with terminal illness."

"The pros are a change in careers, the education insight given to accomplish career and educational goals. Really haven't noticed any cons as of yet."

"My graduate program is excellent, I have no complaints. The professors I have taken so far are great and passionate about the subjects they teach."

"NSU is an amazing university! The scientific-model and community centered programs are stellar. The opportunities that I gained from networking, professors, internships are just a few of the benefits that I gained from attending NSU. I LOVE THE UNIVERSITY with a passion! The con is simply that it is very expensive, but quite frankly you see where the money goes."

"My graduate program provides alot of opportunities after graduation"

"I have been very informed on upcoming events and school information. The cost of attendance is high but I think that it is worth the money I pay for my education. Nova offers many social events to help the students get to know each other including mixers and a Facebook group in which the Dean is very involved. I have made many useful connections which will help me have a successful future."

"The facility is new and beautiful! Also, the network outside of the school (especially in South Florida) is underrated by most standards and is something law students should be taking into heavy consideration when determining law schools. Nova is on the rise!"

"I resigned from a civil service position in the DC area to pursue my MBA at the Huizenga School of Business. If your goal is to work in the south Florida business community, Nova is the premier school."

"the program is excellent. give the students opportunity to learn with real life situations. very hands on"

"Overall, Nova Southeastern is a stellar private institute. The Law program is the most challenging program i have ever encountered. However, with the help of my professors, faculty as well as students it has been a somewhat easy transition. The school is the least diverse University I have attended. Diversity is one of the few things this school lacks."

"The graduate program is very strong academically. The course work is heavy during the first year but slows down after that allowing for a better clinical experience. The faculty are friendly and supportive."

"Nova Southeastern University has been the best decision I could make in completing my doctorate. The faculty in the program are very supportive and hands on in their teaching approach. The work load is reasonable and assistance is readily available. The campus is very clean and beautiful. Cons associated with attending Nova solely fall under the cost to attend the institution. As a doctoral student in the Psy. D program, it is very expensive and financial assistance (aside from loans) are hard to secure. Another con to the doctoral program is the small amount of classes the institution is willing to take from students coming into the program with a Master's level degree in a directly related field."

"Nova Southeastern University's Law program provides a lot of support for its incoming students. The professors have an open door policy which they do adhere to. The school is also very good with informing its students as too available networking opportunities both on and off campus. The cons of this school like most graduate programs is that it is very expensive and the school does not offer much in the way of scholarships and grants for its students."

"Nova has an excellent dental program. The quality of education, the accessibility of the faculty and the intensity of the program make students graduate as competent professional dentists. Undoubtedly, Nova Southeastern University is a great school."
