The College of Professional Studies was one of the original colleges that was part of Florida Gulf Coast University.
The College of Professional Studies' mission statement was that "The College of Professional Studies is committed to educating professionals in the public-, private-, and not-for-profit sectors, as well as to developing students' problem-solving abilities in the realms of government, law, leisure, and social services. Recognizing the rapidly changing environments in which such efforts must be carried out, the College's curricula are oriented toward lifelong approaches to professional and personal development integrating theory, practice, technology, and diversity. All programs in the College link students' learning experiences to the needs of communities and their members."
By 2012, the college housed four divisions: Justice Work, Public Affairs, Resort & Hospitality Management, and Social Work. After its dissolution, these divisions were subsumed under other colleges such as the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Education.
