What Atlantis University does

Atlantis University is a private, for-profit higher education institution headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded in 2007 and operating under Florida Commission for Independent Education License No. 3355 with ACCSC institutional accreditation. The institution delivers associate, bachelor's, and master's degree programs across six academic schools — Business, Computer Science & Technology, Health, Engineering, Education, and the Atlantis Language Institute (ALI) — totaling 31 academic programs. A 2024 ACCSC Annual Report discloses a 78% graduate employment rate, 71% graduation rate, and 69% graduate enrollment share.

The university operates a dual-channel delivery model: a physical Miami campus at 1011 Sunnybrook Rd and a 100% online campus built on Open LMS (Moodle-based), with SARA authorization for interstate distance education. Technology integrations include LinkedIn Learning and Cengage for library resources, Burlington English Interactive Software for ESL instruction, and mobile applications for student access.

The business model is tuition-driven, with undergraduate courses priced at $450 per credit plus an $80/credit semester fee and graduate courses at $897 per credit plus a $223.33/credit semester fee. Fixed-fee diploma programs range from $8,840 (Office Administrator) to $28,000 (Enterprise Cloud Professional bundle). Revenue is diversified across individual consumer-students segmented into traditional undergraduates, graduate working professionals, military personnel and veterans (GI Bill/TA), international students (F-1 visas, ESL pathway), transfer students, and career changers. The institution participates in Title IV federal student aid (School Code 042339) and accepts VA/military education benefits, anchoring its revenue base in regulated, subsidy-supported tuition flows.
