Nova Southeastern University (NSU) is bucking the national trend of declining undergraduate enrollment and just welcomed its largest incoming class in its history—during COVID-19!

Over the past few years higher education enrollment stats across the nation looked bleak. Add COVID-19 to the mix and it was projected that universities would suffer further negative impacts on the number of students returning to campus this fall. But unlike its counterparts locally and nationally, NSU has seen its undergraduate population increase at unprecedented rates for the past five years with 2,001 new undergraduate students beginning classes just a few weeks ago.

“NSU is on the path to being recognized as a preeminent university and as part of that trajectory we have accomplished our goal of doubling the traditional undergraduate enrollment in just six years. We have done so by leveraging our accelerated degrees and our prestigious graduate and professional programs.” said Brad Williams, Ed.D., vice president of Student Affairs and dean of the College of Undergraduate Studies. “By focusing on these key areas, we have attracted high-achieving students who elevate the campus culture. We believe we will build on this trend for years to come.”
