We're committed to student development
The Office of the Provost is committed to providing our students an academic experience that focuses on developing every aspect of a student’s life. During their time at Florida Gulf Coast University, students have access to innovative teaching methods, state-of-the-art technology and diverse co-curricular activities that are designed to respond to their unique needs. Support services such as the Writing Center and Center for Academic Achievement help students reach their academic potential, while programs such as the Honors College and the American Democracy Project offer students an opportunity to enhance their academic experience. Student-centered learning not only includes academics but also peer-to-peer learning.
