Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU)

© FGCU 2003
Established on the verge of the 21st century, Florida Gulf Coast University infuses the strengths of the traditional public university with innovation and learning-centered spirit, its chief aim being to fulfill the academic, cultural, social and career expectations of its constituents. The faculty uphold challenging academic standards and balance research, scholarly activities and service expectations with their central responsibilities of teaching and mentoring.

FGCU has undergraduate programs in Marine Science and in Environmental Studies. The Marine Science course integrates traditional scientific disciplines by focusing them on the study of the world's oceans and coastal waters. This interdisciplinary program combines aspects of biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics and physics in order to provide a well grounded education in the natural sciences, and it applies a systems approach to identifying and understanding the roles that the oceans play in the functioning of our planet. The Environmental Studies major is designed to prepare students for the rapidly expanding and dynamic possibilities for jobs related to the critical environmental issues facing our planet. Through integrated interdisciplinary learning experiences based in the classroom, in the laboratory, in the field and off-campus, students meet science goals shared by those in the natural sciences along with goals developed for the Environmental Studies program.
