The University will pursue a course of strategic growth, in line with its capacity, that affords a wide range of Southwest Floridians access to its programs and services, recognizes variation in student enrollment across its colleges and schools, and makes effective use of its facilities and human resources. FGCU will continue as the first choice for students in SW Florida and increasingly become a preferred choice for students from beyond the region seeking baccalaureate, master’s, and advanced graduate/professional education that meets their aspirations and fulfills the needs of the region and the State of Florida.
