Florida Atlantic University

 

 

Florida Atlantic University, founded in 1961, is currently serving 28,000 degree-seeking students on seven campuses and sites located along state’s southeastern coastline. The University’s student body, which ranks as the most ethnically and culturally diverse in Florida's State University System, includes many men and women of non-traditional age.

Florida Atlantic is classified by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a research university with high research activity. The university has established notable partnerships with major research institutions such as the Scripps Research Institute, the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, and the Max Planck Society. 

In early 2010 the University received accreditation for its Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, making it the 134th medical school in North America.
