February 20, 2025: Florida Atlantic University is an exceptional academic hub for Indian students seeking lucrative international career prospects. This partner university of Study Group, a global leader in preparing Indian and other students for international success, is known for its academic and research innovation, in addition to its cultural diversity, as it is recognized as the No. 1 most diverse public university in Florida.

As of February 2025, Florida Atlantic is a Research 1 (R1) institution by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. An R1 classification is the most prestigious research accolade for universities in the USA. This status designates a university as having “very high research activity” and is the most prestigious research level of universities in the U.S. Only 187 U.S. universities hold R1 status. Florida Atlantic’s programs and faculty members have been awarded more than $75 million in research awards, signifying the university’s commitment to research and innovation. 

With the university’s reputation as an esteemed academic institution, Florida Atlantic delivers exciting prospects for international students, from top academics and career preparation to on-campus involvement to an ideal location in southeastern Florida.

Academic and Career Preparation
Florida Atlantic connects students with the academic and hands-on opportunities that increase their employment options. With affordable degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate level, the university offers students the chance to build their CVs while studying. Each year, Florida Atlantic students participate in 6,2000+ registered internships across well-known companies including Google, Apple, General Motors (GM) and others. In special interest for international students, the university offers more than 30 bachelor’s and master’s degrees designated with a STEM Optional Practical Training (OPT) Extension.

Inclusivity and Diversity
Florida Atlantic understands the need for inclusivity, featuring more than 400 clubs and organizations for students. To carve a sense of community and belonging, Florida Atlantic has established clubs like the Indian Student Association, the Asian American Association, the Asian Student Union, FAU Indo Grooves, Global Owls, and Global Student Success Program, to support and encourage student diversity and inclusion. The university is known to be warm to its students and make them feel at ease: more than 57% of the student body is from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and the university hosts more than 5,000 student-led events annually.

Florida Location
Warmth extends beyond the Florida Atlantic campus in Boca Raton, as the Atlantic Coast is less than 10 minutes from the university. Boca Raton features beautiful parks, beaches, and golf courses, and it is an entrepreneurial and technology hub within two hours of Fort Lauderdale and Miam. Florida maintains the fourth largest economy amongst the U.S. states and territories, giving plenty of opportunities for students to secure job training and professional opportunities across the state (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2024).
