I am happy to share that Florida Atlantic University has once again risen in the U.S. News & World Report rankings. This year, Florida Atlantic is ranked No. 103 on the list of “Top Public Schools,” up nine spots from No. 112 last year. Additionally, FAU ranked No. 189 for “Top National Schools,” making a 20-spot climb from last year’s position at No. 209.

Florida Atlantic moved up another 20 spots in the “Best Value” category, ranking No. 146 nationally for providing high-quality education while maintaining affordability. Additionally, FAU is ranked No. 32 for “Top Performers on Social Mobility” among both public and private institutions. This ranking is based on graduation rates of first-generation students and those who receive Pell grants.

Several of Florida Atlantic’s undergraduate programs were recognized, as well. Undergraduate nursing ranked No. 130, undergraduate computer science ranked No. 193 and undergraduate business ranked No. 147. These rankings highlight the University’s ongoing commitment to advancing student success by providing world-class degree programs.
