In just six decades, Florida Atlantic has achieved what many institutions take centuries to accomplish. Today, as an R1: Very High Research Spending and Doctorate Production University, we’re redefining what academic excellence looks like in the modern era.

Florida Atlantic’s success goes beyond research dollars and Ph.D.s awarded. It's driven by a rare blend of top-tier research and accessibility. As a national leader in social mobility and one of only 23 R1 schools recognized as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, Florida Atlantic is transforming higher education through groundbreaking work in fields like neuroscience, marine biology, human health and more.

Because here, innovation thrives, and every breakthrough opens doors for the next generation.
