History
Early photo of PBA studentsPalm 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 the growth has occurred by expanding the academic programs. The University provides a Christian education in nine schools of study, including the newest additions of nursing and communication and media. In addition, it has graduate degrees in business administration, counseling (three degrees), organizational leadership and reading teacher education; and a doctor of pharmacy degree.
