As the Director of the Office of Graduate Studies and on behalf of the entire faculty and staff, I want to welcome you to the exciting and fulfilling world of graduate education at Southwest Florida’s premier university — Florida Gulf Coast University! At FGCU, students receive a rigorous, accredited, and most relevant curriculum in their chosen field. Furthermore, our faculty members are among the most highly trained scholarly professionals in their fields and hold our students and themselves to the highest of standards. We have established a strong tradition of one-on-one student mentorship, with faculty members providing individualized care and guidance to each of their students.
FGCU’s graduate programs are all designed with two purposes in mind. First, our programs provide the highest quality, in-depth professional training to enhance a person’s career, their earning potential, and their self-fulfillment. Second, our graduate education provides societal value. Our programs are customized specifically for Southwest Florida’s societal needs — health career professionals, business leaders, public administrators, educational leaders, social workers, and environmental scientists to name just a few. Since these needs are not unique to Southwest Florida, our graduate degree recipients are highly competitive throughout the country. Herein resides the vibrancy and value of a graduate degree from FGCU.
We look forward to you joining our family of graduate education students and professionals. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Savarese, Ph.D.
Director of Graduate Studies
Professor of Marine Science
