The Honors College is located on Florida Atlantic University's new 135-acre John D. MacArthur Campus in the heart of Abacoa, a 2,055-acre, master planned, mixed-use community featuring a Main Street-style Town Center and Roger Dean Stadium, the spring training headquarters for the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals as well as the home of the Jupiter Hammerheads minor league baseball team. In addition, the campus is the site of Scripps-Florida, one of the world's premier biomedical research institutes. You can find more information about our community at www.abacoatowncenter.com.

Abacoa is located in Jupiter, the gateway to South Florida, situated along Florida's famous Treasure Coast. Jupiter boasts near-perfect temperatures year round, breathtaking natural beauty, and an abundance of cultural activities that make it one of the country's most desirable areas to live.

The campus opened in 1999 and presently consists of six classroom and office buildings, including a new library building, as well as two residence halls, a dining facility, and a 40,000 square foot joint FAU/Scripps facility that temporarily houses the Florida headquarters of the Scripps Research Institute, one of the largest private non-profit research organizations in the U.S. Three more buildings are in planning or construction stages. The campus also offers a swimming pool, football/soccer field, sand volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, and is adjacent to an 18-hole public golf course.

In addition to the Wilkes Honors College, Florida Atlantic University at Jupiter also offers upper-division and graduate degree programs from the Colleges of Business, Education, Science, Arts and Letters, and Architecture, Urban and Public Affairs.
