The FGCU PGA Golf Management Program is dedicated to promoting professionalism, cultivating industry and community networks and providing meaningful experiential learning to prepare students to excel in leadership roles in the golf industry and beyond.

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.

Florida Gulf Coast University has partnered with over 30 local golf courses to provide access to students in the PGA Golf Management Program for practice and play. 

SPECIALIZED HIGH-TECH TRAINING

All of these courses and labs help prepare students for any number of careers.

A dedicated internship coordinator works with students to ensure proper placement.
Our students have interned at prestigious courses throughout the country, including Pebble Beach, Valhalla, Scioto, Congressional, Oakmont and The Broadmoor. Through experiences such as these, students learn every aspect of how a successful golf operation works.
