Florida Atlantic University was founded in 1961, in Boca Raton, on an 850-acre site near the Atlantic Ocean. The campus is conveniently located halfway between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, and offers a broad range of academic programs, activities, and services. More than 70 percent of FAU’s 29,000 students take classes at FAU’s first and largest campus, and the majority of the university’s 170-plus degree programs are based here. Located just three miles from the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful beaches of Boca Raton, the campus features everything you expect from a modern university—suite-style housing for nearly 4,500 students, brand-new athletics and recreational facilities, art galleries, two theaters and so much more—all in a vibrant, tropical setting with a student body that is the most diverse of all of Florida’s public universities. The Student Union hosts student activities and meetings. In addition, its 2,500-seat Carole and Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium enables students to enjoy performances ranging from rock bands to concert music to the annual Larkin Symposium on the American Presidency. The campus supports two cafeterias and has an attractive array of accommodations for its residential students. The Boca Raton campus is also home to FAU’s Division I Intercollegiate Athletics program and facilities. The five-story S.E. Wimberly Library houses a large collection of monographs, serials and other academic resources, and is home to the Jaffe Center for Book Arts. Computer labs, study lounges, a media center and tutoring services also provide valuable academic support for students. Visiting performers and speakers add to the artistic and intellectual vibrancy of the campus.
