At Florida Atlantic University, we see the potential in students from all walks of life, and we help them reach it.

We use data-driven solutions to ensure that students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds – who often have to face more obstacles on the path to achieving a degree – don’t fall through the cracks.

Whether it’s costly campus parking tickets or time-consuming jobs that take their attention away from their studies, we’re eliminating barriers to success, and building something better: an educational model that gives more students the opportunity to graduate on time. As a result, Pell-eligible and first-generation students outpace the University’s overall graduation rate.

It’s why U.S. News & World Report recognized Florida Atlantic as one of the Top 30 Best Colleges for Social Mobility, and why Washington Monthly ranked us No. 46 in the nation.

From closing equity gaps to opening the doors of opportunity.
That’s the Atlantic Effect.
