"Schools" section moved from article
[edit]Normally, this section would be called "Learn", but it's expected that listings will be for schools that offer courses lasting about 2 weeks or less for non-matriculated students. Glean what you can from this, if you like:
Schools
[edit]- Florida Atlantic University - Located along Glades Road (exit from I-95). Serving nearly 30,000 students, FAU is the largest university in Boca Raton and home to several Division I athletics programs. Notable features include on-campus football and basketball stadiums, a medical school, an art house movie theater and two university art galleries. (http://www.fau.edu/)
- Lynn University - Located on Military Rd (exit Yamato from I-95). Private college serving nearly 3,000 students known for its diverse population, aeronautics program, music conservatory and exceptional Division II athletes. (http://www.lynn.edu/)
- Palm Beach State College (previously known as Palm Beach Community College) - Located on the campus of Florida Atlantic University and serving approximately 15,000 students at its Boca campus, Palm Beach State College offers a variety of classes including continuing education courses. (http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/)
- Digital Media Arts College, more commonly known as DMAC, is a private arts college that focuses on programs in Animation, Game Art Design, Graphic Design, Advertising Design and Visual effects animation. (http://www.dmac.edu)
Altogether Boca Raton campuses serve around 48,000 college students daily so Boca Raton tends to have a steady population of younger people as well.
I think a "Learn" section could be restored that would start with an edited version of the first sentence and very briefly summarize what's special about some of these colleges, without actually listing them or giving them bullet points, but I suspect a consensus would be more likely to oppose any mention of 4-year colleges that don't offer ~2-week courses for non-matrics.
