PGA Golf Management is a limited-access program. In addition to meeting the standard requirements of the university (for details, visit fgcu.edu/admissions), students must submit a separate application to verify their handicap (12 or lower USGA handicap) through the PGA Golf Management Program. 
Qualified students are admitted in the fall semester on a space-available basis. Admission decisions are based on materials and coursework completed at the time of application. For priority consideration, all materials must be received by April 1 of the calendar year in which entry is sought.

A dedicated internship coordinator works with students to ensure proper placement.
