We are excited that you have chosen to apply to FGCU Graduate Studies!  Please find applications and required forms to apply below. 
IMPORTANT:  Official, hard copy transcripts (in the original sealed envelope) from every college and/or university that comprises your entire academic record are required unless you have graduated from FGCU or currently attend FGCU for your bachelor’s degree.  You may submit unofficial transcripts in order to expediate the processing of your file, but if admitted to the program, you will need the official transcripts before you register for classes. 

Please note:  When requesting college transcripts, make sure to request a hard copy to be mailed to our office as many institutions will send electronic transcripts automatically and we are not able to accept them.

A graduate entrance exam is required and some programs also require supplemental materials to be submitted.  Please visit our Admission Requirements & Deadline Dates page to view the requirements for your specific program..
