Palm Beach Atlantic’s first classes met in September 1968, with 88 students enrolling the first year. Four years later, in 1972, 58 students graduated; and 24 were members of the founding class.
Over time, buildings were purchased and new ones were built. The first structure, built in 1982, was the W.G. Lassiter Jr. Student Center. This was followed by Johnson Hall and Sachs Hall in 1989. The most recent building, Gregory Hall, which houses the Lloyd L. Gregory School of Pharmacy, was built in 2004. The new $25.4 million Warren Library is under construction and is set to open in Early 2007.
Much of our growth has occurred by expanding our academic programs. We provide a solid Christian education in nine schools of study, including our newest additions of nursing and communication and media. In addition, we have graduate degrees in business administration, counseling (three degrees), organizational leadership and reading teacher education; and a doctor of pharmacy degree.
Come join us as we continue to grow!
