What Degree Programs Does Florida Atlantic University Offer?

Florida Atlantic University offers more than 170 degree programs, according to the university's own count on its homepage, spanning undergraduate, graduate and combined pathways. The site also lists 28 combined bachelor's-to-master's degree programs for students who want to move from a bachelor's into a master's without a separate application cycle. To see the full, current list, use the "Search our programs" link on the FAU homepage rather than relying on a static catalog.

What the homepage confirms

The FAU homepage presents these figures as part of its "Your Future Awaits" section:

These are headline counts, not a program list. The homepage does not break the 170+ down by college, degree level or field, so treat it as a scale indicator rather than a complete inventory.

Degree paths you can expect

Based on the figures above, FAU's offerings fall into three broad paths:

• Undergraduate degrees — the homepage references a B.A. in Health Science in its student story, confirming bachelor's-level study.
• Graduate degrees — the presence of combined bachelor's-to-master's programs implies master's-level offerings as well.
• Combined bachelor's-to-master's programs — 28 pathways that let students begin master's coursework while finishing the bachelor's.

The homepage does not list doctoral programs, certificates or professional degrees explicitly, so check the program search for those.

How to find a specific program

1. Go to fau.edu.
2. Use the "Search our programs" link in the main "Your Future Awaits" section.
3. Filter or browse by level (bachelor's, master's, combined) and by field of interest.
4. Open the individual program page to confirm admission requirements, campus location and credit hours.

Expected result: a program page with the degree name, college, and application details. If a program does not appear in the search, it is likely not currently offered — the search reflects the live catalog better than any summary page.

Choosing between a standard and a combined pathway

A combined bachelor's-to-master's program can shorten total time to a master's degree, but it usually requires early planning — often during the junior year — and a minimum GPA set by the department. A standard bachelor's-then-master's route keeps more flexibility if you change fields or take time off. The homepage confirms the 28 combined options exist but does not publish their entry requirements, so confirm those with the specific department before committing.

Common sticking points

• The 170+ figure is a count, not a list. Don't assume a program exists because a similar one is common elsewhere; verify in the program search.
• Combined programs are limited. Only 28 exist, so your intended field may not have one.
• Campus matters. FAU describes itself as spanning 110 miles of Southeast Florida's coast, which suggests programs may be distributed across multiple campuses. Check the program page for where courses are taught.
• Costs and deadlines are not on the homepage. Tuition, fees and application dates require the admissions or program pages; the homepage provides no pricing information.
