Business School in Florida - Lutgert College of Business

Business degrees designed to help students succeed

Learn to think critically and move confidently from the classroom to the boardroom.

Student success is our first priority, and we designed our programs and facilities to achieve that goal. Learning and professional development happen inside and outside the classroom, so internships are an integral part of a Lutgert education. Learning to apply classroom theory to real-world challenges gives you a significant advantage in the job market. That's the Lutgert difference.

After a COVID hiatus, Florida Gulf Coast University’s Newton Ethical Leadership Initiative (NELI) once again hosted its annual FGCU Rist Family Foundation High School Ethics Competition, this time as an individual event. Students were asked to respond to a real-life event in which an auditor finds that the CEO and employees of a mental health organization are “Doing Bad to Do Good.” They are knowingly requesting reimbursement for services they are not delivering, but they are providing other services they deem critical for their clients, but just aren’t reimbursable in the way the government policy is written. Students have to decide the right thing to do and then find strategies for overcoming the reasons and rationalizations that people are likely to present as roadblocks to doing the right thing.
