Back to Nova Southeastern University
Halmos College of Arts and Sciences
Meet the Nova Southeastern University staff and faculty members who will help you throughout your time in the Farquhar Honors Program. Our staff will help you navigate the honors requirements to ensure you get the most out of honors, and our faculty will teach your honors courses and host special events and workshops.
Developing relationships with faculty and staff is important because they can turn into lifelong mentors, invite you to participate in research and creative projects, and make you feel at home while at NSU.
The Honors Program helped me develop professional relationships and mentorships with
professors that exist to this day. The faculty and staff at NSU always go the extra
mile and genuinely want you to succeed. John Paul | B.S. in Legal Studies
