Ambition

FAU is an energetic and dynamic institution dedicated to continuous improvement. We are creative, bold and ready to take on the world.

Diversity

More than half of our à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã are minority or international, making FAU the most diverse public university in Florida. We believe a varied collection of thoughts enriches the academic experiences of our à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã.

Opportunity

FAU excels at bringing higher education to underserved communities. Award-winning programs provide à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã with the tools to turn their dreams into a reality and ensure that everyone succeeds.

Coastal

In everything we do, the strength and vastness of the Atlantic serves as inspiration. Spanning 110 miles of Southeast Florida’s coast, FAU embraces its surrounding environment through both research and campus culture.

Exceptional

From its inception, FAU was envisioned as the first of a new breed of American universities that would invent new and better ways of making higher education available to those who sought it. That revolutionary thinking continues to fuel our progress forward.

Our Voice is Not

Generic

Don’t just force the latest marketing campaign tagline into your copy. Use phrases that make sense for your purpose and audience.

Corporate

Choose clear, simple language.
Avoid jargon that only a handful of people will understand.

Punny

We’re more authentic and imaginative than owl rhymes or puns.
