Palm Beach Atlantic University was founded in 1968 as a coeducational Christian liberal arts university. Classes at Palm Beach Atlantic University, formally Palm Beach Atlantic College, were conducted in downtown West Palm Beach. Currently, PBA's main campus is located on Flagler Drive with stunning views of the Intracoastal, and steps away from Palm Beach. The University was named for its location in the Palm Beaches and its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The first classes were held in the fall of 1968.
PBA held its first graduation in the spring of 1972 and later that year received initial accreditation from the regional accrediting association. Classes were first held at 1101 South Olive Avenue in downtown West Palm Beach in the former facilities of the First Baptist Church.
During the ensuing years, the historic auditorium building has served many different roles for the University. The building has been renovated to serve as a portion of the Warren Library. The University had a comprehensive campus master plan that incorporated approximately 27 acres of land from the Intracoastal Waterway west along Okeechobee Boulevard to Dixie Highway, south to Jefferson Street, and back east to the waterway. The first building completed was the Lassiter Student Center, which was occupied in 1983.
West Palm Beach Campus
Palm Beach Atlantic University's 29-acre campus is consistently ranked among the most beautiful in the United States by national Web and print publications. Just across the Royal Park Bridge from the island of Palm Beach, the campus is within easy walking, biking or boarding distance of the the Atlantic Ocean and its beaches and the shops of Worth Avenue. Just as easily accessible are the resturants, theaters and shopping venues of Clematis Street and CityPlace, including the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. More important, is the campus' proximity to numerous Fortune 500 companies with offices in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. Many such businesses offer internships, part-time positions and full-time employment for top graduates. The City of West Palm Beach also is part of the Miami-Dade-Broward-Palm Beach Metroplex -- home to 6.5 million people. Southeast Florida often is called the "Capitol of the Caribbean" and is the gateway to business interests throughout the state and in Central and South America. The Warren Libary is one of the signature structures on the PBA campus, along with the DeSantis Family Chapel and the Lassiter Student Center.
