The "Second Circle" International Model

Florida Gulf Coast University developed the "Second Circle" International Model. This program involves using a College initiated international educational partnership approach to reach out and involve an interface with the business network in the partner country. This successful concept has resulted in all of the partnerships listed below. The basic notion is to use Lutgert College of Business international academic activity to connect to a circle of business and cultural environments beyond the university in both countries.

Most of these programs are available only to business students, a few are open to all qualified FGCU students.
