Hodges University is a private, not-for-profit, regionally accredited university located in southwest Florida and primarily serves working adult students. The Fort Myers Campus boasts a newly renovated state-of-the-art Health Sciences facility that includes smart classrooms, and nursing skills and simulation labs, with diverse high-fidelity mannequins and equipment; two spacious and well-equipped Physical Therapist Assistant labs; an EMT/EMS lab, complete with a functional ambulance; and, coming very soon, a brand-new BS in Dental Hygiene program with a 20-operatory clinic open to the public. This technology allows students and faculty to have innovative, leading-edge learning and teaching resources. In addition to the healthcare programs, Hodges University features a range of business and professional programs, a large Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, innovative programs such as the Juris Master, a full-range ESL program, and a variety of non-credit offerings, all offered in a collegial and supportive environment.

Hodges University is a dynamic, entrepreneurial institution of higher education that espouses the non-traditional, not just in the students we serve but, in the opportunities, we leverage. We offer workforce-focused certificates and degrees in areas such as Clinical Healthcare, Business, Psychology, and Information Technology. We are the region's first federally-designated Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and offer a robust English as a Second Language program - on campus, online, and in satellite locations. We serve a large Veteran population. All of our learning environments are TEC-enabled, which means, for the majority of classes, students can pick both how and when they go to class - in person, online, or virtual - each time the class meets!

Hodges University is regionally accredited by SACSCOC and approved as a Level III institution offering associate, baccalaureate, and master's degrees. The healthcare programs are each also accredited by their respective programmatic accrediting agencies. Most programs at Hodges University admit students each month, and many courses are designed to take only 1 month to complete so that a busy adult student can focus on one course - one topic - at a time.
