FAU Ranked in Top 50 by Washington Monthly

I am thrilled to share that Florida Atlantic has once again moved up in Washington Monthly’s annual College Guide rankings. FAU rose five places from last year to No. 41 among more than 400 public and private national universities. Additionally, FAU climbed seven places in the Best Bang for the Buck: Southeast category, ranking No. 6.

Washington Monthly’s college rankings assess an institution’s contributions to the public good and are calculated using three metrics: social mobility, research, and community and public service. The Best Bang for the Buck rankings recognize the Top 50 schools in each region based on how well they help low to moderate income students earn degrees at affordable prices and achieve upward economic mobility.

Florida Atlantic’s rise in the rankings is a testament to our commitment to offer an accessible, high-quality education. We are proud of the efforts of everyone involved in the success of our students and honored to be recognized by Washington Monthly for this achievement.
