Music has always been part of academic tradition. At British American University, anthems are performed at convocation, commencement, and other formal occasions to honour the two traditions that inspire our identity and to celebrate our own community.
Our ceremonies traditionally feature the national anthem of the United States, the national anthem of the United Kingdom, and the University Anthem.
Audio recordings can be uploaded for each anthem in WordPress.

VERSE I
Where Florida’s sunlight greets the sea,
A beacon stands for all to see;
Two nations’ wisdom, joined as one,
Our quest for knowledge has begun.
CHORUS
Hail, British American, proud and true,
We lift our voices, all for you;
In truth and honour we will stand,
United, learning, hand in hand.
VERSE II
From every land our students come,
With open minds, a world as home;
We carry forth the light we gain,
To serve, to lead, to build, sustain.
