I'm considering applying to Flagler College and want to know more about their majors. Which programs are the most popular, and do they have strong departments in the humanities or sciences? Trying to decide if Flagler is right for me.
Flagler College has a diversity of programs, but there are a few standout areas. Some of the most popular majors at Flagler College include Psychology, Business Administration, and Strategic Communications. You could say the college has a strong reputation especially in the field of Business given the robust curriculum and opportunities available.
As for humanities, the college does house robust programs. They have a unique major in Coastal Environmental Science that mixes some of the physical sciences with humanity's relationship to the environment. Additionally, they offer majors like English, History, and Philosophy/Religious Studies among others.
It is, however, equally important to underpin this with the liberal-arts approach that Flagler College implements across all programs. It aims to promote critical thinking, creative expression, ethical decision-making and that delicious breadth of knowledge that can make so many humanities programs rich with diversions and intersections.
As you're deciding whether Flagler is the right fit, it's not just about the strength of their departments or popularity of certain majors- but also about whether the particular ethos and education style aligns with your learning preferences and career goals. For example, if you appreciate small class sizes and a close-knit community, Flagler’s roughly 2,500 undergraduate students could be a plus. Or if you're interested in studying within a historic town like St. Augustine, that could also affect your decision. Good luck with your decision-making process!
