Summer Semester & Accelerate

Stay in West Palm Beach. Get ahead. Make memories.

Palm Beach Atlantic University offers several options for summer studies: Summer Semester, online subterms, and Accelerate — a three-week intensive for students looking to get a head start. At an economical price point and an accelerated, flexible schedule, you could shave off an entire semester of your degree. There are even financial aid options available for many students. Register on myPBA.

Accelerate

The program is the option to take a 3-week intensive course during the final summer sub-term. The class consists of a teaching block Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., so you will only be able to take one of the available courses.

Accelerate courses count toward the fall credit load.

Students must register through Academic GPS:
