'Florida Atlantic University', also commonly referred to as 'FAU' or 'Florida Atlantic', is a public coeducational research university located in Boca Raton, Florida, USA. The university has six additional partner campuses located in the Florida cities of Dania Beach, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Jupiter, Port St. Lucie, and Fort Pierce at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. FAU's seven campuses span more than 100 miles of Florida's eastern coastline and serve a seven-county region which has a populace of more than five million people.[5]
The university opened its doors in 1964 as the first public university in southeast Florida and the first university in the nation to offer only upper-division and graduate level courses. While initial enrollment was 867 students, this number would increase dramatically in 1984 when the university admitted its first undergraduate students.[6] By 2007, enrollment has grown to approximately 26,000 students representing 144 countries, 48 states and the District of Columbia.[2] Since its inception, FAU has awarded over 100,000 degrees to more than 95,000 alumni worldwide.
Although Florida Atlantic provides for the educational needs of commuter students, in recent years it has undertaken an effort to increase its academic and research standings while evolving into a more traditional university. Under the direction of current President Frank T. Brogan, the university has raised admissions standards, increased research funding, built new facilities and established notable partnerships with major research institutions.[8][9] These efforts have resulted in not only an increase in the university's academic profile, but also the elevation of the football team to Division I competition status, plans for an on-campus football stadium and more on-campus student housing, and a partnership with Boca Raton Community Hospital and the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine to build a teaching hospital on the main campus in Boca Raton.[10]
History
On July 15, 1961, the Florida Legislature passed an act authorizing the establishment of a new university in southeastern Florida. A 1940s-era Army airbase in Boca Raton was selected as the site of the new university. In 1962, the Florida Board of Control selected "Florida Atlantic University" as the name of the new institution, and ground was broken on December 8, 1962. FAU opened on September 14, 1964, with an initial student body of 867; it was the only university in the nation to offer only upper-division and graduate work. U.S. President Lyndon Johnson dedicated the university on October 25 of the same year and received the first honorary doctorate awarded by Florida Atlantic.

FAU's history is one of continuing expansion as the university population has grown. The university expanded to Broward County, Florida, in 1971, with the founding of the Commercial Boulevard campus in Fort Lauderdale, and by the fall semester of 1983, enrollment would reach 9,388. In 1984, due to a rapidly growing population in the state, Florida Atlantic opened its doors to freshmen and sophomores, and in 1985, the downtown Fort Lauderdale campus opened on Las Olas Boulevard.
In 1989, the Florida Legislature designated Florida Atlantic as the lead state university serving Broward County, and fall semester enrollment reached 13,148. In 1995, Florida Atlantic purchased Barry University’s Port St. Lucie facility to establish a campus on the Treasure Coast, in partnership with Indian River Community College.

In 1999, the Jupiter campus also opened and was formally named for the late John D. MacArthur; by 2003, fall semester enrollment was 24,961. Also in 2003, the state of Florida awarded FAU $10 million to establish the nation's only Center of Excellence in Biomedical and Marine Biotechnology, a research facility that searches the waters off Florida's coastline for drugs from natural sources that could be used to treat cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses.
Today, FAU's $168 million endowment is the fourth largest in the state,[11] and FAU has maintained the most diverse student body in the state university system, with minority enrollment of 34.6%. The Boca Raton campus remains the largest campus, with 69% of FAU's students enrolled there.[1] The Boca Raton campus and the Jupiter campus are the only campuses that offer student housing.
Since its founding, Florida Atlantic University has had five presidents. President Frank T. Brogan became the fifth president in 2003 after resigning his position as the Lieutenant Governor of Florida under then Governor Jeb Bush.

FAU has nine colleges which altogether offer more than 170 different bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs.[13] These nine colleges include The Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, The College Of Architecture, Urban and Public Affairs, The Barry Kaye College of Business, The College of Education, The College of Engineering and Computer Science, The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, The Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, and The Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science.[14]
The university offers students two honors options: the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College and a University Scholars Program. The Wilkes Honors College is located on the John D. MacArthur campus of FAU in Jupiter, Florida. It offers a rigorous liberal arts education in the platform of a public institution; students work with a professor to develop and write an honors thesis. The Boca Raton campus houses the University Scholars Program, which offers special honors seminars, forums, courses, and advanced course substitution for freshman.
Florida Atlantic has gradually been increasing its admission standards since it opened its doors to freshman in 1984. Starting in the summer of 2004, FAU began denying entry to students with low GPA's and SAT scores. Prospective students were directed to take remedial courses at a community college to better prepare them for success at the university. The higher admissions standards included a 3.2 GPA and an SAT score of at least 1000 for admittance in 2007. By 2007, the average high school GPA for an entering freshman was 3.3 and a 1052 on the SAT. Incoming freshmen in FAU's Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College had an average high school GPA of 3.95 and scores of 1285 on the SAT and 27 on the ACT. [2]
Today, the average class size for undergraduates is 32 people, and 11 people for graduate classes. Student to faculty ratio is 19:1 with 98% of faculty employed full-time.[15] The top three undergraduate majors by enrollment are Elementary Education, Management, and Accounting, respectively. The top three graduate majors by enrollment are Business Administration, Nursing, and Educational Leadership. The average age for first time in college students is 18, however, the average age for all undergraduates is 25. The average age for graduate students is 34.

Notable programs at Florida Atlantic include the largest adult continuing education program in the U.S., the first entirely student-run full-service record label in the U.S., and the only Wall Street trading room simulator at a public university in Florida.[16] The Lifelong Learning Society operates programs that serve the educational interests of more than 20,000 senior citizens by providing classes focusing on subjects of interest, and audit options for regular university classes. Under FAU's Commercial Music program, Hoot/Wisdom Recordings was created in 2002 enabling students to work in all creative and business aspects of the music industry. This program generated music that landed a Top 10 spot on the Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales Chart during its first week of release.[17] Located in the Barry Kaye College of Business, the university's two-story trading room provides hands-on financial education using 25 dual-monitor computers and can accommodate 50 people at one time. A second lab provides full audio-visual connectivity and 25 additional workstations. Florida Atlantic allows local financially-oriented businesses to use the Trading Room for staff training and development.[18]
Research
FAU is currently classified as a Research University with high research activity by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.[19] This ranking is the result of a campaign Florida Atlantic has undertaken to bolster its research standing. This has resulted in not only FAU's sponsored research exceeding $60 million per year, but notable partnerships with major research institutions such as the The Scripps Research Institute and The Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies.[20] Scripps is constructing a sister institute on the Jupiter campus of FAU, which upon completion will operate out of a 364,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art research facility focusing on basic biomedical science, drug discovery, and technology development. Torrey Pines is constructing its headquarters in Port St. Lucie, Florida. While the
headquarters is being built, Torrey Pines is operating out of Florida Atlantic's Port St. Lucie campus.
FAU is the home to two Centers of Excellence: The Center of Excellence in Biomedical and Marine Biotechnology and The Center of Excellence in Ocean Energy Technology. Selected by Florida’s Emerging Technology Commission, each center is awarded money in order to continue and increase their operations. Florida Atlantic beat out some of Florida's top research universities including the University of Florida and Florida State University for the initial money from the state.[21]
The university houses both an Imaging Technology Center and a NASA Imaging Technology Space Center. Located in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the centers specializes in digital imaging research and development for use in both government and commercial applications in the areas of medical technology, surveillance, communications, education, inspection, scientific observation, manufacturing, visual recognition and identification, and motion picture and digital video. The FAU Imaging Technology Center is developing a curriculum for digital imaging and processing, thereby establishing Florida Atlantic as the only university in the nation to offer this technical concentration.The NASA Imaging Technology Center is one of 12 NASA Research Partnership Centers throughout the nation which develops dual-use research and development with the participation of NASA and other related industries in the U.S. The center occupies two sets of laboratories and administrative offices on Florida Atlantic’s main campus in Boca Raton and at the Fort Lauderdale campus.
Florida Atlantic also operates two Research and Development Parks located in Deerfield Beach, and Boca Raton, Florida respectively. The R&D Parks provide outside research facilities for companies enabling them to interact with the University community and its facilities, resources, and expertise. Located inside the R&D Park on the Boca Raton campus is a Technology Business Incubator. The incubator works to foster the start-up and growth of technology based businesses associated with FAU.[25]
Rankings
Florida Atlantic has been ranked among American universities by a number of publications throughout its history. In 2007 FAU was classified a 4th tier university by the ''U.S. News & World Report's'' rankings of "Best Colleges".[26] Florida Atlantic was also named one of the "Best Southeastern Colleges" in the United States by the Princeton Review.[27] In 2006 FAU was ranked 240th in the nation by ''Washington Monthly''.[28] The magazine based its rankings on the following three criteria: "how well a university performs as an engine of social mobility (ideally helping the poor to get rich rather than the very rich to get very, very rich), how well a university does in fostering scientific and humanistic research, and how well a university promotes an ethic of service to country."[29] For the 2004-2005 academic year the university was ranked 16th in the United States among traditionally white four-year academic institutions for conferring bachelor’s degrees to African-Americans. During this period FAU conferred a total of 1,407 bachelor’s degrees in all disciplines for all minorities and ranked 37th in the nation, up six percent from the previous year.[30]
Campus
Florida Atlantic University is a distributed university located on seven campuses spread across three counties of Florida's eastern coastline.[31] Located throughout Palm Beach, Broward, and St. Lucie Counties, the region is home to more than five million people. The university's main campus is located in the Palm Beach County city of Boca Raton. Palm Beach is also home to the John D. MacArthur Campus located in the city of Jupiter. In addition to its campuses in Palm Beach County, Florida Atlantic operates three campuses in the Broward County cities of Dania Beach, Davie and Fort Lauderdale. The university was officially designated in 1989 as the lead state university to serve Broward County by the Florida Legislature. Florida Atlantic University also operates two campuses in the St. Lucie County cities of Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI). Harbor Branch is currently in the process of merging with the university to become The HBOI at FAU.
Palm Beach County Campuses
Boca Raton
Heritage Park Towers
Florida Atlantic's main campus in Boca Raton was established on the remnants of a World War II American Army airbase in 1964. Spanning 850 acres (3.5 km²) near the Atlantic Ocean, the site is located between the cities of Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. The campus was designated a burrowing owl sanctuary in 1971, by the Audubon Society.[32] The owl prefers the campus because there are few predators due to the university's proximity to the Boca Raton Airport, and the fact that the campus was originally cleared of vegetation when operating during World War II. The feisty bird, traditionally associated with wisdom and determination, serves as the university's mascot.
The Boca Raton Campus is home to a wide variety of university programs and facilities. These include "state-of-the-art labs and classrooms, suite-style housing for students plus athletic and recreational facilities." In addition to academic and cultural programs, the campus also houses Florida Atlantic's Division One intercollegiate athletics program. The main campus serves approximately 19,533 students or 71% of FAU's student body offering "a broad range of academic programs, activities, and services."[33]
Following the establishment of a regional campus of the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine within the Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science in 2004, Florida Atlantic and Boca Raton Community Hospital approved an agreement between the two institutions to implement a land-lease for the development and operation of a community-university affiliated teaching hospital on the main campus. The hospital, to be called the Charles E. Schmidt Medical Center, will serve as the primary teaching hospital for the regional campus of the Miller School at FAU. Facility construction is expected to begin in 2008 with completion by 2011.[34][35][36]
In an effort to create a more traditional, first-choice college atmosphere on the Boca Raton campus, the university is working with KUD International to develop an "Innovation Village". Plans for the Innovation Village currently call for new residence halls, workforce housing, restaurants, stores, parking garages, and a 30,000-seat college football stadium that will be home to the Owl's football team. FAU's Innovation Village project will be one of only two athletics/retail venues located on the campus of a Florida university; a similar Innovation Village-type project is also being built at the University of Central Florida.[37][38] Other construction projects o the Boca Raton Campus include the Office Depot Center for Executive Education, the Marleen and Harold Forkas Alumni Center, and the renovation of the Burrow, the university's multi-purpose arena. [39][40][41]
The Boca campus also houses a number of other programs including the A.D. Henderson University School, FAU High School, one of two FAU Research Parks, and the Lifelong Learning Society.
Jupiter - John D. MacArthur Campus
In addition to the Boca campus in southern Palm Beach County, Florida Atlantic operates a campus in northern Palm Beach County in Jupiter. The John D. MacArthur Campus, named after businessman and philanthropist John D. MacArthur, was established in 1999 to serve residents of central and northern Palm Beach and southern Martin Counties. "The campus currently occupies approximately 45 acres (.18 km²) with 18 buildings totaling more than 333,000 square feet: eight classroom/office buildings, a library, a 500-seat auditorium, two residence halls, a dining hall, museum building and central utility plant."[42] The MacArthur Campus also houses the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College and Scripps Florida. The campus serves approximately 2,009 students or 6% of FAU's student body.
Broward County Campuses

Dania Beach - SeaTech
The Dania Beach Campus, also known as SeaTech, was founded in 1997 as "a state-funded Type II research center, the institute is part of Florida Atlantic’s Department of Ocean Engineering."[43] The campus is located on 8 acres (.03 km²) of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. SeaTech is home to FAU "faculty members, engineers, technicians and students engaged in federally and industry-sponsored ocean engineering research and technology development in the areas of acoustics, marine vehicles, hydrodynamics and physical oceanography, marine materials and nanocomposites." The Dania Beach Campus serves approximately 60 students, roughly .2% of FAU's total student body.
Davie
The Davie Campus of Florida Atlantic University was established in 1990 on 38 acres (.15 km²) of land in western Broward County.[44] In order to expand the services available to students the university is currently building a new multi-story student union on the campus. Upon completion, the new "facility will include offices for student government and campus organizations, a multipurpose area and student lounge, a bookstore, and food services for students..."[45] The union will also include a student health center that will provide a medical center, and a health counseling center. The campus serves approximately 5,108 students, or 14% of the FAU student body making it the university's second largest campus. Davie is also the home of "environmental research initiatives focused on Everglades restoration".[46]
Fort Lauderdale
The Fort Lauderdale Campus, located in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, "provides a laboratory for students in business, computer arts, architecture, urban and regional planning, criminal justice, social work, and public administration."[47] The campus is home to approximately 1,062 students or 3% of FAU's student body.
St. Lucie County Campuses
Port. St. Lucie - Treasure Coast Campus
FAU Spirit Banner
Located in Port St. Lucie, Florida the Treasure Coast Campus of Florida Atlantic University operates under a unique partnership with Indian River Community College (IRCC). Since the 1970s FAU has been operating on the Treasure Coast in conjunction with IRCC "to extend educational opportunities that take students from an associate's degree to undergraduate and graduate degrees."[48]
Florida Atlantic University purchased 50 acres (.2 km²) of land in Port. St. Lucie in 1994. The university operated in the existing infrastructure for eight years before joining with Indian River Community College in order to open a joint-use facility. Both institutions continue to operate out of this 100,000 square foot facility today. The Treasure Coast Campus currently serves approximately 1,207 students, or 3% of FAU's student body.
Fort Pierce - HBOI
In addition to the Treasure Coast Campus, FAU operates a campus jointly in Fort Pierce with the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI). While this partnership began with informal research ties more than a decade ago, in recent years the partnership has solidified with the construction of an FAU research and teaching facility on Harbor Branch's 600 acre (2.4 km²) campus. This facility was constructed with $11 million in state appropriations.[49] In early 2007 it was announced the institution would merge with Florida Atlantic University to become The HBOI at FAU. The Florida Legislature allocated $53 million in 2007 to FAU and the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution in order to acquire the institution. This merger is currently in progress.[50]
Athletics

Main articles: Florida Atlantic Owls
Florida Atlantic's 18 varsity sports teams, known as the Owls, compete in the NCAA's Division I Sun Belt Conference. The university's athletics program began in 1979, when FAU first started sponsoring intercollegiate teams.[51] Since then the university has worked to expand the quality of its intercollegiate program by attracting renowned coaches such as Howard Schnellenberger, Matt Doherty, and Rex Walters. Due to this effort, in 2006 the athletic department was ranked 79th in the nation by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). "In conjunction with ''USA Today'' and the United States Sports Academy, NACDA recognized FAU for its Division I athletic programs and accomplishments."[52] This ranking placed Florida Atlantic in the top 24% of 326 NCAA Division I universities. The FAU Owl athletic teams have also garnered a number of accolades for their accomplishments. During the 2007 season the men's basketball team was noted as "one of the Sun Belt Conference's top offensive teams", with a "scary offense" that earned it the reputation of the "best shooting team in the conference."
Jaguars seek to rebound against high-scoring FAU Kim Shugart The baseball team was also recognized by the NCAA as ranking in the Top-10 in five team categories. "The team was also ranked third in the nation in home runs per game (1.66) and in slugging percentage (.563)." Baseball Ranks High in NCAA Stats
Traditions
FAU celebrates a basketball victory
Since the inception of the athletics program, a number of sports-related traditions and school spirit organizations have been started at the university. One new tradition is "Bury the Burrow in Red," which calls for Florida Atlantic students to wear as much red as possible and fill the Burrow, the university's multi-purpose arena, during the annual basketball face-off between FAU and nearby neighbor Florida International University (FIU). Minutes for February 15, 2007 The official spirit group supporting Florida Atlantic athletics are the "prOWLers". The group began in February 2002 when Pablo Paez, Will Pearson, and Michael W. Moore gathered a group of students to rally around the men's basketball program during the team’s run for the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship. Since that time the group has grown and been reorganized and reinvigorated by Rick Smith in order to ensure that it remains as one of the lead spirit organizations at FAU. The group is funded by the Student Alumni Association, and today "...can be found at most sporting events for FAU, teaching students and fans the university’s fight songs and cheers, while carrying on tradition from year’s past." prOWLers - The rowdiest students at FAU In addition, the university has two other spirit organizations which support specific university sports; the "Rowdy Rexes" support the basketball programs and the "Crazy Coonies" support the baseball program.
Another traditional competition between FAU and FIU is the annual Shula Bowl. This annual intercollegiate football game is named after legendary coach Don Shula; the game originates from the fact that both head coaches, FAU's Howard Schnellenberger and former FIU coach Don Strock, worked under Shula at some point during their careers. This game provides bragging rights to one of the South Florida teams until the next game is played the following season. As a home game the competition takes place at Dolphins Stadium, as an away game, the bowl is played at FIU Stadium in Miami.
Student Life
Residential life
Village Apartments, Boca campus
Residential housing at Florida Atlantic University is available on the Boca Raton and John D. MacArthur campuses. "All full-time freshman students are required to live in university housing," however, "exceptions are made for a number of reasons including residing with a parent or legal guardian within a 50-mile commutable distance from the campus, a student being 21 years of age, or if a student is married."[53]
Boca Raton's six on-campus housing facilities include the following: Algonquin Hall (opened 1965), Heritage Park Towers (opened 2004), Indian River Towers (opened 2001), and Glades Park Towers (opening fall 2007) which is a dormitory for freshmen which is nearly identical to Heritage Park Towers.[54] The university also offers upper-division undergraduate and graduate student housing in the Village Student Apartments and a Business and Professional Women's Scholarship House for women with a strong academic background.[55][56]
Within its existing residential life programs Florida Atlantic offers a number of Learning Communities for freshman and students with similar interests and concentrations. These communities "are a residential experience that bring together what happens inside and outside the classroom." Participants meet "students with similar interests, live on the same floor and take courses with others in their community, while receiving additional programming and support related to those interests."[57] The university's Learning Community programs are divided into two categories, Freshman Learning Communities and Living Learning Communities. The Freshman program offers 16 different concentrations, including business, nursing, and education. The Living program offers 6 concentrations for students residing in the Heritage Park Towers dormitory including Engineering and Computer Science and a Women's Leadership program.
The university's Department of Housing and Residential Life and FAU's Greeks sponsor a program for freshman and other students returning to Florida Atlantic in the fall semester. This program called the "Weeks of Welcome", spans 11 days and all campuses and works to acclimate students with university life and "build a good community with students who live on campus."[58] On each day a number of different events are scheduled including Hall Wars, which are athletic competitions between dormitories, Luaus, and a number of other events.[59]
The Weeks of Welcome are the second largest campus-wide event held by FAU.
Campus organizations and activities
For the 2006-2007 academic year, Florida Atlantic had approximately 150 registered student organizations. This includes 40 academic organizations, 19 honor societies, 18 spiritual/religious organizations, 16 diversity appreciation organizations, 5 service organizations, 25 personal interest organizations, 12 club-sports, and 7 student government agencies. These clubs and organizations run the gamut from sailing to Ultimate Frisbee, from varsity and club sports and a jazz group to a pottery guild, from political organizations to chess and video game clubs.[60] These organizations are funded by student tuition, from which $10.00 per credit hour goes toward an activities and service fee fund. This generates approximately $5.8 million which is then given to Student Government for allocation to student clubs and organizations. The student government also finances other student life programs including career fairs, the ''University Press'', Owl TV and Owl Radio, and Homecoming.[61]
FAU's Homecoming, also known as the Owl Prowl, is celebrated annually in the fall semester during the week prior to the last home football game. Events mainly occur on the Boca Raton Campus, but a number other campuses host their own events as well. In the past Homecoming has included kickoff parties, costumed dances, bonfires, comedy shows, alumni events and dinners, a golf cart parade, and tailgating.[62][63][64] Current plans for the 2007 Owl Prowl include the introduction of window painting and the university's first-ever street parade with floats built by students.[65]
Greek life
Florida Atlantic is home to 20 chapters of national fraternities and sororities. These organizations provide academic motivation, forums for education on various life issues, philanthropy and service to the community, contribute to the campuses through participation in campus life, and foster opportunities for people with similar values to engage in friendship.[66] There are 11 fraternities and 9 sororities active at FAU whose membership accounts for approximately 4% of the university's student body.[67] There are currently no on-campus Greek houses. Although the 2006 Boca Raton Campus master plan includes a site-map and a goal for 8 Greek houses to be built within 3 years, to date there are no plans for the construction of housing in the immediate future.[68][69]
The highpoint of Greek life at Florida Atlantic is "Greek Week". This event is held annually during the Spring semester, and showcases a number of themed competitions between the university's Greek organizations. In 2007, the theme was "countries" and the competitions included flag football, skit night, tug-of-war, a Greek spirit competition, a talent show, and a Greek Awards Banquet.[70]
