Cost Overview

Most families at Florida Gulf Coast University pay around $10,319 annually after financial aid. Low-income students (under $30K) pay just $6,146 per year, while wealthy families ($110K+) pay $16,165. Over four years, costs range from roughly $25,000 to $65,000 depending on family income.

The typical graduate leaves with $17,622 in debt. Monthly loan payments average $187, which represents about 4% of the median starting salary of $40,960. Within 10 years, graduates earn a median of $54,560. Only 26% of students take federal loans, suggesting many families can afford the relatively low costs without borrowing heavily.

The best deal goes to Florida residents from lower-income families. In-state students make up 85% of enrollment and avoid the $25,162 out-of-state tuition. Combined with need-based aid, this makes FGCU one of the more affordable options in Florida's state university system.
