PBA Values: Accountability, Excellence, Integrity, Love, Respect, Unity
2017-2018 PBA Theme: Amazing Faithfulness “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him.” -Lamentations 3:22-25
American Free Enterprise Palm Beach Atlantic University confidently affirms the values and institutions that historically have informed American society—religious liberty; traditional Judeo-Christian morality; limited, constitutional government; the Rule of Law; personal and political accountability; and capitalism—the system of free enterprise. We believe that America is truly an exceptional nation, which was founded and has flourished under the guiding providential hand of God. We aim to develop in each of our students an appreciation for the unique American achievement in its many dimensions—social, political, economic, moral, legal, and religious.
Our general education curriculum, required of all students, includes a course entitled “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 Christianity, and the nature of freedom as understood by the chief architects of the American political order. They examine the interdependence between political and economic freedom, in particular, the signifi-cance of free-enterprise capitalism for the preservation of liberty. They learn about the structure of American constitutional democracy and the traditional meaning of justice and the Rule of Law.
These studies help students recognize the various threats to individual freedom, religious liberty, and other traditional American rights and values that have emerged over the past several centuries, as well as contemporary challenges to their preservation.
Cicero remarked of the declining Republic of his era: “Our age . . . inherited the Republic like some beautiful painting of bygone days, its colors already fading through great age; and not only has our time neglected to freshen the colors of the picture, but we have failed to preserve its form and outlines.” Palm Beach Atlantic 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-eration 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 Atlantic University is a comprehensive Christian university with a core emphasis in the liberal arts. Its purpose is to offer a curriculum of studies and a program of student activities dedicated to the development of moral character, the enrichment of spiritual lives, and the perpetuation of growth in Christian 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, facul-ty, 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.

Cohort Default Rate Comparison
The Financial Aid Office continues to see success in the use of the American Student Assistance $ALT program. This
financial literacy program aids current students and alumni in various ways, from finding scholarships to loan
repayment options. In combination with the efforts of the Financial Aid Office and trusted partner $ALT, PBA
continues to lower its student loan default rate. The most recent release of the PBA 3‐year Cohort Default Rate
returned at 5.2%. This is down from 5.5% in the previous year.

CLASS SECTIONS
CLASS SUB‐SECTIONS
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.
