Mission Statement
FGCU is a member of the State University System of Florida (comprising 12 institutions) and is a young and growing institution of higher learning. It opened as Florida’s tenth state university in August 1997. Its initial goal was to serve the five-county area (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry and Lee counties), home to about 1 million residents. Today, the university attracts a much broader array of students from across the state, nation and dozens of international locales. In the almost two decades since it opened its doors, Florida Gulf Coast University has made an indelible impact upon Southwest Florida. It is a catalyst for the region’s economy as well as the cultural heart of the community. Our campus and region serve as living laboratories from which life-improving discoveries emanate. Our students enjoy one of the highest graduate employment rates among Florida's state universities.
