Nussbaum graduated in 1965 with a bachelor's degree from Harvard University. He received his Ph.D. in 1969 from the University of Chicago with thesis The Fixed Point Index and Fixed Point Theorems for K-Set Contractions supervised by Felix Browder.[2] At Rutgers University Nussbaum became in 1969 an assistant professor, in 1973 an associate professor, and in 1977 a full professor.
