Our campus and region serve as a living laboratory where life-enhancing discoveries are made. We're an incubator for entrepreneurs who fuel economic development and a cultural resource  that enriches life on and around campus.

Our sports teams energize the entire region. Inspiring those who inspire others — that’s The FGCU Effect.

Florida Gulf Coast University’s comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs prepare students to excel and innovate. Our students, alumni, faculty and staff are actively engaged and environmentally conscious citizens. They serve their communities and inspire others by leading, doing and making a difference.

Faculty members are a group of dedicated scholars and researchers who are committed to teaching and service.

As the university is relatively new, it attracts professors with an entrepreneurial mindset, eager to create innovative programs and initiatives that benefit students and the community.
