Find Your Path at FGCU

In nearly 30 years, Florida Gulf Coast University has achieved national prominence in academics, sustainability, service-learning and athletics. We are still growing — developing groundbreaking programs like entrepreneurship and interdisciplinary initiatives such as The Water School.


As our region’s premier higher-education institution, we are committed to serving and collaborating with our community. That has, in turn, inspired and informed our curriculum and strategic growth. Our students, alumni, faculty and staff actively engage in their communities and inspire others by making a difference.


FGCU’s unparalleled natural setting between the Florida Everglades and the Gulf of Mexico creates an outdoor classroom and laboratory for a diverse community of 16,000 students. Our dedication to their success and the professional growth of our 1,500 faculty and staff members is second to none. But that’s only part of the bigger picture.

Thank you for considering a future at Florida Gulf Coast University! We look forward to welcoming you to our dynamic team.
