Prepare for the Real World.

Nova Southeastern University gives students the edge they need to become confident, capable and caring professionals who can outsmart, outperform and outlast their competition. As a student, you’ll be given the tools to harness the best within yourself and prepare for a career that inspires you.

Sometimes, we talk about class, but often, we talk about careers or just life in general. That's where some of the best learning really happens.

Build Your Resume and Portfolio

Experiential learning can give you an edge.

Ten applicants bring a resume to an interview. One also brings a portfolio. Who gets the job? You. At NSU, you’ll have the opportunity to create a marketable portfolio based on real work experience and course projects that show off your credentials—and your character.

Your professors and advisers can connect you with a variety of opportunities to build your portfolio. They may invite you to assist with their research, help you find an internship, share a service-learning event or even help you network.

This is your time to explore new career paths. Find what you like about a career or discover a deal-breaker early on. Network with people who could be career connections in a few years. Get a head start on your peers and prepare to dominate your future.
