Florida Gulf Coast University Annual Accountability Report, 2013-14
Board of Governors, State University System of Florida
This statistical report provides data tables on Florida Gulf Coast University's (FGCU's) financial resources, personnel, enrollment, undergraduate education, graduate education, and research & economic development. Highlighted data include: (1) Recent results (fall 2013) of FGCU's participation in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) showed that 75% of graduating seniors had experienced at least two of the following high-impact educational experiences (those deemed to result in long-term student success) while pursuing their degrees: participating in a learning community, service-learning, research with faculty, an internship or field experience, study abroad, or a culminating senior experience. This rate of FGCU student participation is statistically significantly higher than FGCU's national peers (i.e., comprehensive universities); (2) Despite a drop in graduate enrollment being experienced nationally and affecting graduate enrollment at FGCU, total degree production during 2013-2014 FGCU was essentially unchanged from the prior year. However, there was a dramatic increase in the undergraduate six-year graduation rate of 6 percentage points from 43% for the 2007 entering student cohort to 49% for the cohort entering in 2008; (3) During 2013-14, degrees awarded in STEM fields or other programs of strategic emphasis (as defined by the Board of Governors) constituted 45% of all degrees awarded. Over the last five years FGCU has exhibited among the highest rates of growth in degree production among the major institutions in the system; (4) Recent National Survey of Student Engagement results (2013-14) indicate that FGCU students have experienced research with a faculty member at statistically significantly higher rates than their peers nationally; (5) According to the Florida Education Training and Placement Information Program, FGCU consistently places among the top institutions in the state university system (SUS) for post-graduation employment and/or continuing education in Florida; and (6) 2013-14 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) results showed FGCU students in their senior year reported having had an internship experience while completing their degrees at rates statistically significantly higher than their peers nationally.
