Florida Atlantic University

''Florida Atlantic University is a public university with its main campus in Boca Raton, Florida. Florida Atlantic opened in 1964 as the first public university in southeast Florida, offering only upper-division and graduate-level courses. Initial enrollment was only 867 students, increasing in 1984 when the university admitted its first lower-division undergraduate students. Since 2004, FAU has undertaken an effort to increase its academic and research standings while also evolving into a more traditional university. The university has raised admissions standards, increased research funding, built new facilities, and established notable partnerships with major research institutions.''
