Florida Atlantic University (FAU), a partner of Study Group, is emerging as a top destination for Indian students seeking international career prospects. Recognised as Florida’s most diverse public university, FAU has gained global attention for its academic innovation, research excellence, and cultural inclusivity.
As of February 2025, FAU has earned R1 (Research 1) status from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, a distinction held by only 187 US universities. This prestigious classification recognises universities with very high research activity, reinforcing FAU’s commitment to academic excellence. The university has received over $75 million in research grants, further establishing itself as a leader in innovation.
FAU offers affordable undergraduate and graduate degree programs, preparing students for global employment opportunities. Each year, over 6,200 students secure internships with top companies such as Google, Apple, and General Motors (GM). The university also provides more than 30 STEM-designated degree programs, allowing international students to benefit from Optional Practical Training (OPT) extensions.

With over 400 student organizations, including the Indian Student Association, Asian Student Union, and Global Owls, FAU fosters a welcoming and inclusive campus environment. More than 57% of students come from diverse backgrounds, and the university hosts 5,000+ student-led events 
annually.
Located in Boca Raton, Florida, FAU offers proximity to Fort Lauderdale and Miami, providing students with entrepreneurial and professional opportunities. Florida’s economy ranks fourth largest in the US, making it an attractive hub for career growth.
