FLORIDA ATLANTIC IS RACING TO THE FOREFRONT OF HIGHER ED

Under an ambitious strategic plan and inspired leadership, Florida Atlantic University set out to become the fastest-improving public research university in the country. A comprehensive approach using big data to influence decisions led to double-digit growth in graduation and academic progress rates in just five years.

Student Success for All

Through the coexistence of access and excellence, FAU embodies an innovative model where traditional achievement gaps vanish. Not only does everyone succeed, but scholarship and research thrive. Predictive modeling evaluates the impact of decisions on vulnerable populations and contributes to our national recognition as a top degree producer for minorities.

Ambition Thrives Here

From its inception, FAU was envisioned as the first of a new breed of American universities — one that would innovate better ways of making higher education available to those who sought it. That revolutionary thinking continues to fuel our progress forward.
