Physical therapy is one of the top professions for job growth in the US. Every year FGCU doubles our program size and we still can’t meet the needs of the local marketplace. As a result, our graduates enjoy a 100% post-graduate employment rate. "

Our clinical laboratory science program has a 100% graduate employment rate. We can’t graduate students fast enough to fill the need. Most are offered positions before they even earn their degree. "
