Undergraduate Student Learning Goals and Outcomes
Florida Gulf Coast University is committed to the following undergraduate student learning goals and educational outcomes, believing they provide a foundation for lifelong learning and effective citizenship.

Total number of graduates from degree programs:
Number of graduates from degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability:
A brief description of how the figure above was determined:
while all of FGCU's undergraduate degree programs require a sustainability-focused course called "University Colloquium: A Sustainable Future" and therefore all programs ultimately require a knowledge and understanding of sustainability, not all of our programs list this in the individual program-levels, since at our institution it is a given. However, many programs, like our business degrees, engineering degrees, and others, do list sustainability in their program learning outcomes or have additional coursework that leads to the same ends.
Undergraduate program degrees awarded = 3005 (1594 with Sustainability Learning Outcomes / Required Sustainability course)
Masters & Doctors degrees awarded + 334 (73 with Sustainability Learning Outcomes)
Total with Sustainability Learning Outcomes = 1667
