When BAU was founded in 2014, it was established under the original name BAU International University. BAU operated under this name until it was officially changed in January of 2019 to Bay Atlantic University.

Housing services
- The affiliated dormitory, Island Condos, is located in a very vibrant and upcoming district. There are many shopping areas, restaurants, quick dining spots, and coffee houses-all within walking distance.
- Bookstores, art galleries, and pop-up stores are spread throughout the neighborhood, which tenants can explore. The neighborhood is surrounded by public basketball and tennis courts, skate parks, and open parks.
Library services
The BAU Library consists of a small physical library and a large online collection. Keeping in mind that the Washington, D.C. metro area is an information-rich and library-rich environment, BAU maintains its physical collection to assist students in “discovering” material that faculty members themselves use in their areas of expertise.
Medical services
BAU wants students to stay healthy and happy throughout their time with us and beyond. To this end, we offer students both health and wellness and counseling services. It is important for everyone to be proactive about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, for the sake of achieving both short- and long-term successes.
Campus life
BAU is located right at the political and cultural center of the nation’s capital, just two blocks from the White House. BAU is also home to the Global Policy Institute, GPI, a highly regarded think tank whose research focuses on energy issues, education, economics, global affairs, and international security.
