Abstract | Nova Southeastern University is the 10th largest private, not-for-profit, postsecondary institution in the United States, based on Fall Term 2002 unduplicated enrollment statistics reported to the National Center for Education Statistics. It was recently announced that Nova Southeastern University plans to build a $500 million academic village, with an emphasis on research and medicine. This academic village will further increase the University's size and subsequent impact on Florida's economy. The purpose of this study is to provide a projected estimate of Nova Southeastern University's impact on Florida's economy in 2010, due not only to student enrollment but also because of the planned $500 million academic village and the creation of new jobs related to research activities and medicine. As these estimates are determined, this study will also provide another tool for the University to communicate with the public about its many services and social and economic contributions to the community. Various reports in the literature related to technology and university-affiliated medical research were reviewed and applied against a conservative set of parameters and assumptions specific to Nova Southeastern University. Based on these parameters and assumptions, by 2010, when unduplicated enrollment may possibly reach 30,000 or more Fall Term students and the many facilities associated with the academic village come online, Nova Southeastern University may be responsible for a more than $1.6 billion impact on Florida's economy: $1.2 billion due to expenses and spending related to student enrollment and $0.4 billion from the medical and research intensive planned academic village. The University's contribution to Florida's economy continues to grow and it will rapidly increase as the $500 million academic village comes online and provides service opportunities and the infusion of new money into the economy.
