Palm Beach Atlantic University - West Palm Beach (FL)

5 /5 Jackie Yong: Palm Beach Atlantic University is a welcoming community that embraces Christians from diverse backgrounds. The university is committed to providing high-quality education while fostering spiritual growth and personal development. I’m grateful to be part of such a supportive environment. Like any institution, PBA isnt perfect, but there are safe spaces for open dialogue and meaningful conversations about change. The campus is also in a fantastic location—with easy access to world-class performances at the Kravis Center and Society of the Four Arts, as well as the nearby beach for those who value connecting with nature and caring for their mental well-being.

5 /5 Jennifer Lachmund: My daughter just completed her freshman year at Palm Beach Atlantic University. To try to convey the experience would be difficult. It was all we could have hoped for and more. She was a little girl driving by and spoke about going to the "God college," and we never knew if this was within reach. She first started in 6th grade with a Greek-themed summer camp, which she loved. Then, through the incredible PBA Childrens Theater, she ended up learning more about the school and experiencing it firsthand. The love, discipline, and direction that the students experience in that program are bar none. In theater, they say the audience will often criticize or conversely say: "better than Broadway." Well, under the talent she has been exposed to, there were shows produced that literally were. I have been to plenty of both. This is all with a gentle touch of Gods love throughout. So, when she was able to go to PBA for her college, it was like a dream come true. City life is so much fun; you can walk and surf at the famous Palm Beach beach, but that is nothing compared to the theater department. The students actually get real-life skills that, in one year, I am so impressed, I think all students should experience. The students are led into leadership skills, public speaking, teamwork, rigorous academics alongside a full nighttime theater program and all the expectations. It is not for the faint of heart, but for those passionate, the talent coming from the professors and support team is unmatched. My daughter also has been on campus for her Humanities courses, etc. Those too helped her continue her love for history and participation. She is in an improv club and has now become President. The family-type atmosphere is also something special. The academics are appropriate for advanced degrees. I am a history instructor with over 26 years of experience. I am impressed with the level of expectation; it sets them up for long-term success. Her friends are like family and her best friend she grew up with is in the Honors/psychology program. These are all strong students that take academics seriously.

5 /5 Ranstone: My home away from home, my Hogwarts for Florida-man, my sanctuary! My heart will always belong here. Go Sailfish!

5 /5 Jairo Umana: thanks so Much PBA, thank you for the big opportunity with God is possible the dreams. Congratulations prom 2024. Go to change the world

5 /5 Philip Dvorak: Palm Beach Atlantic University: where the degrees are top-notch, the friendships are lifelong, and the ocean views are practically part of the curriculum. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s here, and I can honestly say it was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The professors don’t just teach—they mentor, guide, and become your lifelong colleagues. The only downside? It’s expensive—like, “I hope they take eternal gratitude as a partial payment” expensive. But let’s be real, the campus is basically in paradise, so maybe the tuition includes the beach? If you’re looking for a Christ-centered education in a place where the scenery is as inspiring as the professors, PBA is worth every penny (just maybe start budgeting now). Five stars, would graduate again—if my wallet allowed it!
