As a Carnegie R1 top-tier research university, Florida Atlantic is preparing students for success after graduation — while solving real-world problems along the way.

A hallmark of the educational experience is an award-winning undergraduate research program that gives students in every major an opportunity to engage in groundbreaking studies alongside faculty mentors.

As a result, since 2022, nine Owls have earned the Barry Goldwater Scholarship — the most prestigious national research fellowship for undergraduates.
