On a former navy outlying landing field that was constructed during World War II, the university was established in 1964 as the Nova University of Advanced Technology. At the time, it was the only institution in the world to grant graduate degrees in the fields of the physical and social sciences. The present name of the institution was adopted after a merger that took place in 1994 between it and the Southeastern University of the Health Sciences.

NSU is categorised as a "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity" university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and it is also categorised as a "community engaged" university by the same organisation.
