PBA Values: Accountability, Excellence, Integrity, Love, Respect, Unity
2019‐2020 PBA Theme: Power of Prayer
American Free Enterprise
Palm Beach Atlan c University confidently affirms the values and ins tu ons that historically have informed American society— religious liberty; tradi onal Judeo‐Chris an morality; limited, cons tu onal government; the Rule of Law; personal and poli cal accountability; and capitalism—the system of free enterprise. We believe that America is truly an excep onal na on, which was founded and has flourished under the guiding providen al hand of God. We aim to develop in each of our students an apprecia on for the unique American achievement in its many dimensions—social, poli cal, economic, moral, legal, and religious.
Our general educa on curriculum, required of all students, includes a course en tled “Freedom in American Society,” which examines the meaning and significance of freedom in the American experience. Students explore such topics as the historical roots of American liberty, with special emphasis on the close link between liberty and Chris anity, and the nature of freedom as understood by the chief architects of the American poli cal order. They examine the interdependence between poli cal and economic freedom, in par cular, the signifi‐cance of free‐enterprise capitalism for the preserva on of liberty. They learn about the structure of American cons tu onal democracy and the tradi onal meaning of jus ce and the Rule of Law.
These studies help students recognize the various threats to individual freedom, religious liberty, and other tradi onal American rights and values that have emerged over the past several centuries, as well as contemporary challenges to their preserva on.
Cicero remarked of the declining Republic of his era: “Our age inherited the Republic like some beau ful pain ng of bygone days, its colors already fading through great age; and not only has our me neglected to freshen the colors of the picture, but we have failed to preserve its form and outlines.” Palm Beach Atlan c University strives to ensure that a similar fate does not befall the noble American experiment in ordered liberty. We regard the transmission of the American cultural heritage to the rising gen‐era on as not only a profound joy, but also a profound duty.
Guiding Principles
(These principles were adopted by the University’s founders and they serve as the preamble to the PBA bylaws.)
Palm Beach Atlan c University is a comprehensive Chris an university with a core emphasis in the liberal arts. Its purpose is to offer a curriculum of studies and a program of student ac vi es dedicated to the development of moral character, the enrichment of spiritual lives, and the perpetua on of growth in Chris an ideals.
Founded under the providence of God with the conviction that there is a need for a university in this community that will expand the minds, develop the moral character, and enrich the spiritual lives of all the people who may come within the orbit of its influ
ence, Palm Beach Atlantic University shall stand as a witness for Jesus Christ, expressed directly through its administration, faculty, and students.
To assure the perpetuation of these basic concepts of its founders, it is resolved that all those who become associated with Palm Beach Atlantic as trustees, officers, and members of the faculty or of the staff must believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, that man was directly created by God; that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin; that He is the Son of God, our Lord and Savior; that He died for the sins of all men and thereafter arose from the grave; that by repentance and the acceptance of and belief in Him, by the grace of God, the individual is saved from eternal damnation and receives eternal life in the presence of God; and it is further resolved that the ultimate teachings in the University shall always be consistent with these principles.

Undergraduate Class Size
Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree‐seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one‐to‐one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co‐operative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one‐on‐one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross‐listings.
Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree‐seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one‐to‐one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross‐listings.

Bachelor’s degree: An award (baccalaureate or equivalent degree, as determined by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education) that normally requires at least four years but not more than five years of full‐time equivalent college‐level work. This includes ALL bachelor’s degrees conferred in a five‐year cooperative (work‐study plan) program. (A cooperative plan provides for alternate class attendance and employment in business, industry, or government; thus, it allows students to combine actual work experience with their college studies.) Also, it includes bachelor’s degrees in which the normal four years of work are completed in three years.
Black or African American: A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.
Commuter: A student who lives off campus in housing that is not owned by, operated by, or affiliated with the college. This category includes students who commute from home and students who have moved to the area to attend college.

Credit hour: A unit of measure representing an hour (50 minutes) of instruction over a 15‐week period in a semester or trimester system or a 10‐week period in a quarter system.

The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre‐professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full‐time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees were formerly classified as “first‐professional” and may include: Chiropractic (D.C. or D.C.M.); Dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); Law (L.L.B. or J.D.); Medicine (M.D.); Optometry (O.D.); Osteopathic Medicine (D.O); Pharmacy (Pharm.D.); Podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or, Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.
Dual enrollment: A program through which high school students may enroll in college courses while still enrolled in high school. Students are not required to apply for admission to the college in order to participate.
