Back to Nova Southeastern University
Great teachers have the power to inspire generations of students and make their mark on the world through their creativity, passion, and ability to connect with others.
Nova Southeastern University's Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice offers a unique academic teaching program that shapes aspiring educators like you into expert teachers.
Other education programs I applied to didn't offer me the 3+1 program. At NSU, I'm earning my bachelor’s and my master’s in just four years.
