Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is furthering its multifaceted mission of research, scholarship, creative activity, teaching and community engagement in ways designed to support an organizational culture that is, first and foremost, dedicated to student success. By providing increased academic advising and career exploration services, removing barriers to timely graduation and offering unique student engagement opportunities, FAU is strengthening the quality of the educational experience it offers students. Additionally, FAU is leveraging resources to improve access to programs and advance student success through greater course availability, additional advisors and enhanced student support systems. FAU remains steadfast in its commitment to increase the number of degrees awarded in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and significant progress is being made. Overall, FAU has experienced a 4% increase in bachelor's degrees awarded in STEM disciplines and a 25% increase in STEM graduate degrees over the last 5 years. In the realm of scholarship, research and innovation, FAU's Division of Research (DOR) works to strengthen the quality and reputation of scholarship, research and innovation at FAU through the support of undergraduate and graduate research as well as a commitment to supporting all FAU research initiatives. FAU is also actively engaged with the business community through board and trustee memberships at many chambers of commerce, economic councils and business development boards. A recent study showed that FAU has a $6.3 billion economic impact on its six-county service region. Further, FAU actively develops partnerships between the University and community, providing service opportunities to students, faculty and staff. Lastly, In 2013-14, FAU ranked first among Florida's public universities in job placement of new graduates, with 70 percent of bachelor's degree graduates finding full-time employment in Florida or going on to graduate study. Starting salaries averaged $34,900, $1,400 higher than the State University System (SUS) average. This statistical report provides data tables on FIU's financial resources, personnel, enrollment, undergraduate education, graduate education, and research & economic development.
