Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship at Nova Southeastern University is the only business school in the nation with entrepreneurship in its name. This speaks volumes about who we are – a dynamic business school committed to fostering innovative thinking in the workplace. At the Huizenga School, enterprising students learn to face the critical business issues of today and tomorrow, head-on. But no discussion about the Huizenga School would be complete without recognizing its namesake and benefactor, H. Wayne Huizenga. Architect of three Fortune 500 companies, Mr. Huizenga continues to exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit embodied in the Huizenga School's innovative approach to business studies. Today Mr. Huizenga's reputation continues to positively impact NSU, attracting high-profile speakers to the business school's Distinguished Lecture Series. In 2003, the Huizenga School moved into its permanent home, the $37 million, state-of-the-art Carl DeSantis Building, thanks to the generous support of donors and the philanthropy of Mr. Huizenga. Today Nova Southeastern University is the largest independent university in the southeastern United States, with more than 26,000 students, 90,000 alumni, a sprawling 300-acre Fort Lauderdale campus and a presence in nine countries throughout the world. At NSU, it's your future. So we do things on your terms, with classes offered days, nights, weekends and online. Class sizes are small, so you receive the kind of personal attention that makes all the difference in the real business world. 2 BACHELOR'S ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Nova Southeastern University is committed to admitting individuals who are academically prepared to succeed in NSU's challenging undergraduate program, who demonstrate the kind of dedication that will enrich the NSU community as a whole. Admission into a bachelor's degree program requires that students have completed high school or received a General Equivalency Diploma (GED). Many factors are considered during the admission committee's review process. Performance in high school will be the best indicator of how successful a student will be at NSU. The committee will review high school transcripts, as well as look at academic ability and strengths; the level of coursework taken; and performance on the SAT, ACT, or other standardized test. (Students interested in the evening, off-campus, or online programs do not need to submit SAT/ACT scores.) Involvement in activities and work experience will also be taken into consideration. NSU wants to make the application process as smooth as possible.
