The university was founded in 1964 as the Nova University of Advanced Technology on a former naval outlying landing field built during World War II[18] and first offered graduate degrees in the physical and social sciences.[19] In 1994, the university merged with the Southeastern University of the Health Sciences and assumed its current name.[20]
NSU is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity"; it also classified as a "community engaged" university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.[21] The university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and also has numerous additional specialized accreditations for its colleges and programs, including A.A.C.S.B.[22][23]

The Sharks have won nine NCAA national championships, including clinching the 2023 Men's Basketball NCAA Division II Championship.[citation needed]
