Nova Southeastern University considers student success central to the Mission, Vision, and Core Values of the institution. Among the ways NSU measures student success are the following: licensure examination passage rates, alumni employment status, and student learning outcomes.

Licensure Passage Rates

Students in Nursing, Education, Law, Osteopathic Medicine, Psychology, Pharmacy, Dental Medicine, Health Care Sciences, Optometry, and Marriage and Family Therapy take licensure examinations. Each program sets their own targets for student success.

Undergraduate Student 6-year Graduation Rates

The six-year graduation rate of the 2017 entering full-time, first-time in college students at NSU was 64%.

Alumni Employment Status

In the 2024 Alumni Survey, more than 69% of responding alumni were working in their major field of study; nearly 14% were working in a field other than their major field.

Student Learning Outcomes

Programmatic student learning outcomes are assessed on a regular basis; student success is determined by each individual academic program. Overall, 90% of the programs at NSU are meeting their goals for student success. For more information, please click here.
