Explore the Research Initiatives of our NSU Halmos College of Arts and Sciences Faculty
One of the greatest parts about being a student at Nova Southeastern University's Halmos College of Arts and Sciences is that you get to work alongside leaders in their fields. Launch a new chocolate product as an undergrad. Promote the cause of social justice as part of an extracurricular. Contribute to published research studies as a graduate student. It’s all possible with our hands-on educational model at NSU.
I had no idea what I wanted to do walking into NSU, but with the guidance of the professors in this department, I found my true passion: chemistry.
