Faith-Inspired Innovation. Purpose-Driven Learning.
Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) is proud to launch its campus-wide AI initiative powered by ChatGPT Edu, OpenAI’s secure, education-focused platform. This step prepares students to thrive in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world, reflecting our commitment to excellence, innovation, and integrity.
All degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty and staff, have access to ChatGPT Edu through their PBA accounts.
Why AI Matters at PBA
The ability to work alongside AI is becoming as essential as communication or teamwork. By equipping students with hands-on experience in advanced AI tools, PBA ensures graduates enter their careers with a distinct advantage by being ready to lead, innovate, and serve in a changing world.
What ChatGPT Edu Offers
ChatGPT Edu is more than a chatbot. It’s a secure, enterprise-level AI platform designed for education. Within this protected environment, the PBA community can:
- Brainstorm ideas, organize projects, and explore research topics.
- Learn complex concepts through clear explanations.
- Get support for coding, writing, and data analysis.
- Collaborate and create using built-in tools for writing and planning.
With enhanced privacy, advanced features, and university integration, ChatGPT Edu offers a safer, more powerful alternative to public AI tools. No personal data is shared, and all information stays within the PBA network.
Benefits for Students
Through a university-managed system, PBA protects student data and intellectual work. This eliminates risks associated with unregulated, third-party AI tools, creating a safe and trustworthy learning environment.
Instead of purchasing separate subscriptions, students gain access through our campus-wide license. This approach reduces costs, ensures fairness, and allows for centralized support and training.
ChatGPT Edu includes enterprise-grade capabilities, collaboration features, and model enhancements not available in the free version. This empowers students to achieve more, learn faster, and explore ideas creatively.
With equal access to AI tools, professors can design more engaging, future-ready courses. From interactive projects to AI-assisted research, the classroom experience becomes more dynamic and relevant to real-world applications. By enhancing productivity, AI allows faculty to focus on what matters most: mentoring, discipling, and forming students spiritually and intellectually.
At Palm Beach Atlantic University, innovation is guided by conviction. We believe technology can be stewarded for Kingdom impact, used to enhance human creativity, serve others, and glorify God.
Engaging with AI through ChatGPT Edu allows our community to model how faith and wisdom can illuminate technological progress. It’s an opportunity to shine light in a rapidly changing world by demonstrating how biblical truth informs innovation.
PBA will provide training workshops, online resources, and practical guides to help students, faculty, and staff use AI confidently and ethically. These sessions will emphasize both practical skills and spiritual discernment, ensuring that every member of our community uses AI tools in ways that honor integrity, learning, and service.
AI Certificate Program
Students can further their skills through PBA’s new Artificial Intelligence Certificate Program, an optional pathway that provides training in the ethical and effective use of AI within each discipline. This program combines technical learning with biblical discernment, equipping graduates to utilize AI with integrity and purpose.
