Another High Ranking for Florida Atlantic

Today, The Wall Street Journal released its list of the “Best Colleges in America” for 2024, and Florida Atlantic is ranked No. 79 among public universities! This ranking, which rates the Top 400 universities in the country, emphasizes how much a college improves its students’ chances of graduating on time and how much it boosts the salaries they earn after graduation.

Rankings are based on student outcomes (70%), learning environment (20%) and diversity (10%). WSJ commissioned one of the largest-ever independent surveys of students and recent alumni in the U.S. to inform the rankings.

This wonderful news comes less than one week after the announcement that Florida Atlantic was named No. 46 among all public and private universities nationwide by Washington Monthly, and No. 13 in the magazine’s “Best Bang for the Buck Rankings: Southeast.” 

Congratulations to our faculty, staff and students on this well-deserved recognition.

Go Owls!
