Classes are:

16 weeks long
fully online
$75 a credit hour ($225 per class)

Through the Propel program, PBA makes a limited number of online courses available to high school students ready for college-level work with the goal of providing them access to learning opportunities offered by the university. Each course taken through the PBA Propel program is building the student’s permanent college transcript.

For the 2023-24 school year, the courses are offered at the rate of $75 per credit hour plus learning materials, payable to PBA. Florida statutes state that Florida residents may not be charged for dual enrollment coursework or learning materials. Therefore, Florida residents may not use credits earned through the PBA Propel program to fulfill high school requirements. PBA Propel courses should not be included on a Florida student’s high school transcript. Residents of states other than Florida wishing to use the PBA Propel courses toward dual enrollment credit should adhere to their state guidelines for dual enrollment.

Palm Beach Atlantic University is a comprehensive Christian university with a significant 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 influence, Palm Beach Atlantic University shall stand as a witness for Jesus Christ, expressed directly through its administration, faculty, staff, and students.

Palm Beach Atlantic University's guiding document, THE NAVIGATOR, has six core values that govern the standards for all students. Through the lens of these values, we define appropriate and inappropriate behavior. These values apply to all on and off campus activity. It is our hope that these values transcend your experience at PBA.

Seek Unity
As a Christ-first community, we are called to seek and promote unity in the Spirit. We are privileged that this community contains diverse opinions, experiences and ethnicities. In all diversity, the PBA community is united in Christ and in His mission.

Reflect Love
All members of the PBA community are called to grow in their love for God and their love for others during their time at PBA. Jesus is clear that one will know His followers by their love. We demonstrate our commitment to being a Christ-first community by taking seriously Jesus’ charge to love God and others. Love is demonstrated through both words and actions, and PBA encourages this love to flourish through a robust chapel program, classes that integrate faith and learning, on-campus Bible studies and opportunities to live and learn in community on campus with fellow students.

Pursue Excellence
The University requires that each student’s conduct meets the highest standards of Christian integrity and morality. Therefore, students agree that their conduct will be consistent with biblical teaching, all applicable laws of the federal, state and local government, and all PBA policies. The institution uses Matthew 18 to guide students in how they should approach resolving conflict and hold one another accountable. As we submit to the example of Jesus Christ, we are called to live a life of excellence, which we are equipped to do through the word of God, support and guidance of the Holy Spirit and Christian community. As we are temples of the Lord (1 Cor. 6:19) we should reflect that commitment in our words and deeds. PBA is committed to fostering a Christ-first campus community, while preparing students who will pursue and achieve excellence in the workplace and opportunities for service. PBA students pursue excellence while studying in the classroom, competing in athletics, working hard at internships, serving others in the community and daily living for Christ.

Demonstrate Integrity
At PBA, we desire the love of God to transform the actions and decisions of each member of this community from the inside out. As such, our student conduct policies embody the highest Christian ethical and moral standards of behavior we hope to emulate as Christ-followers. Integrity should be demonstrated in all facets of our lives, including our academic pursuits and personal relationships. Demonstrate Integrity PBA expects students to consistently demonstrate integrity throughout all aspects of their lives. Whether in the classroom or in the community, on the computer or face to face, in church or at work, our students seek to tell the truth and act morally. Showing integrity positively impacts them and everyone within their spheres of influence.

Show Respect
Students are called to exhibit a posture of respect toward other people and property. Respect for others is embodied in behavior that honors the image of God in each person. Respecting property means that spaces are left in good condition for future students, property is used in the manner intended, and items that belong to others are treated with care. Our policies are developed to create a safe and respectful environment for all community members.

Be Accountable
The principle of accountability is basic to developing students who take responsibility for their words and actions. Accountability extends beyond our campus walls to all areas of life including academics, relationships, social media presence, work and study abroad experiences. PBA encourages students to hold one another accountable for all policies and expectations outlined in our Guiding Principles. As PBA is a Christ-first institution, our ultimate guide should be our accountability to the Lord and the truth outlined in Scripture. The following procedures show our community how to be accountable for our core values and subsequent policies in a way that brings glory to the Lord (Colossians 3:17).

Every student who chooses to become a part of the PBA community agrees to live in a way that is consistent with and not contrary to the PBA student conduct policies, which embody Christian ethical and moral standards of behavior. Upon enrolling, each student has agreed to govern himself/herself in accordance with the student conduct policies and also is responsible for his/her guests while on campus. Students reaffirm their commitment to our community values on a yearly basis during the semester check-in process. Students are expected to live year-round in a manner consistent with the standards set forth in The Navigator. This applies to the fall and spring semesters, as well as summer and University breaks. The term “student” includes all persons taking courses at the University who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate or professional studies, either full-time or part-time. This includes participants in study abroad, online courses and off-campus academic programs. The student conduct policies apply at all locations and all times. Students who withdraw after allegedly violating a student conduct policy or multiple policies may be prohibited from campus until they resolve the issues via the disciplinary process.
