The Nova Southeastern University (NSU) College of Allopathic Medicine has received preliminary accreditation – a major milestone that allows the new medical school to accept an inaugural class of 50 students into its innovative and coveted Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) program, which will matriculate in August 2018.
In addition to NSU’s existing $3.7 billion economic impact on the state of Florida, by 2030, the college is expected to directly and indirectly generate another $350 million in economic activity annually, supporting more than 2,000 local jobs, and generate $17 million each year in tax revenue impacts.

NSU Cares - Hurricane Relief Fund
|
In the spirit of One NSU, and in order to help those in the NSU community who were most in need of assistance after Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, we established the NSU CARES fund. Since its inception, more than $25,000 has been raised for relief efforts in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
Donations made to NSU Cares have been distributed weekly to those who have emailed their requests for assistance to NSUCares@nova.edu. So far, we have been able to deliver over 2,500 lbs. of goods directly to our Puerto Rico campus as well as monetary donations to the requests made by those affected in the NSU community.
If you know of a fellow student, faculty, associate, contractor, vendor, or alumni of NSU who still needs assistance and support in the wake of these storms an appeal can be sent to
NSUCares@nova.edu
. All requests will remain confidential unless stated otherwise.
You can still make a donation to NSU CARES online at

or by texting ‘NSUCARES’ to 41444.
