No, All diplomas and transcripts simply say “Palm Beach Atlantic University.” That’s because all students learn from the same faculty and receive the same high-quality course content.

The courses do not meet at a specific day or time so you can study when you’re available. Many courses have optional synchronous sessions in which you’ll have the opportunity to meet with instructors, peers, and guest speakers. A very small number of courses might have one or two required synchronous sessions.
