About Our Program

Palm Beach Atlantic University is planning a new building for our College of Business that includes a Center for Financial Literacy. The new business school will help meet the needs of an expanding financial services industry in Palm Beach County. The Center for Financial Literacy will meet a critical need in our community and throughout Florida to educate both our students and members of the Florida public about financial literacy. Each year our new center will offer a Financial Literacy course open to the public. Florida citizens will have access to free in-person and online financial coaching, seminars, and workshops. With well-equipped classrooms and a new 314-seat lecture hall, our College of Business will be a wonderful resource within walking distance of the West Palm Beach business community. Additionally, the Center will provide our financial literacy curriculum to the Department of Education to assist the DOE in its K-12 financial literacy curriculum as required by law.
