Nova Southeastern University

What are the graduation rates for students at Nova Southeastern University?

NSU's reported six-year graduation rate is 63% for the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort; its four-year rate is 55%. These measures track completion within specified periods, not the share of all current students who will eventually graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured entering group returned the following year. Transfer students, part-time students, and students in graduate or professional programs have different paths and are not adequately described by the first-time undergraduate graduation rate. A prospective student comparing programs should also consider major-specific course sequencing, clinical placement requirements, and the possibility that changing majors can affect time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Nova Southeastern University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for federally aided graduates represented in the applicable field and credential data. They are observed outcomes for measured groups, not salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate.

Reported examples include a median of $63,194 for registered nursing and related nursing programs and $40,909 for business administration and related programs. The reported figure for biology is $22,635. Differences can reflect credential level, occupation, local labor markets, and whether graduates enter further education soon after completing a degree. Applicants should compare the same credential level and measurement period before using these figures to weigh majors; an early-career earnings figure does not capture long-term income, debt, or the value of additional training.
