Atlantic University is a private university in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The university is associated with Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), and its administrative offices are in the Don and Nancy de Laski Education Center on the main A.R.E. campus. The university is accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) and licensed by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $6,305/year net price and a remarkably low median debt of $4,500, the financial burden is minimal, which matters. However, a 36% graduation rate is a serious red flag — fewer than 4 in 10 students finish — and median earnings of $25,600 a decade out suggest limited career traction for those who do. Worth considering only if you have a specific, intentional reason to be here and a clear plan to be one of the students who actually completes a degree.
