About Undergraduate Studies

The Office of Undergraduate Studies was established in Fall 2011 to advance student success and engagement and to highlight the outstanding work of the faculty and staff in undergraduate studies at Florida Gulf Coast University.

Vision

Office of Undergraduate Studies promotes undergraduate students becoming mindful citizens with a commitment to self, others, community, and place.

Mission

Through collaboration and innovation the Office of Undergraduate Studies (UGS) offers students transformative opportunities to become lifelong learners and interconnected citizens.

We promote collaboration and innovation, bringing together students, educators, and community partners in the development of unique initiatives, curriculum, and pedagogy.
Students experience transformative opportunities, resulting from a challenging and richly diverse environment that provides university experiences, which build on and enrich the classroom experience.

Students develop into lifelong learners, approaching their personal, social, and scholarly worlds with a spirit of inquiry founded in liberal education, which cultivates skills vital for success.

As interconnected citizens, students practice and promote community building and engagement, fostering their commitment to social responsibility, sustainability, and understanding of social and ecological interdependence.
