General Education Program

Students at Flagler are required to complete specific groups of courses from a variety of fields to ensure exposure to different ideas and ways of thinking. The general education courses should occur at the freshman and sophomore levels and include English, mathematics, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Because many of these lower-numbered courses must be completed before other courses can be taken, students are advised to complete the general education courses as early as possible. Students must complete at least 18 of the 30 hours required in general education before the beginning of the sophomore year. The general education requirements must be completed by the end of the sophomore year.

All students are required to complete two courses in English Composition (ENG 101 and 102) and one course in Speech Communication (COM 101). In addition, students must demonstrate a sufficient level of skills and knowledge in the basic use of computers. This requirement may be satisfied by earning a passing grade in CSC 120, CSC 121 or a computer literacy course within departmental requirements in the student's major.

In addition to the requirements in English, communication, and computer literacy, students must complete a minimum of two courses in the humanities, two in the social sciences, two courses in mathematics at or above the 100 level, and one more course from any of the four groups of courses listed below.

Also, students must be enrolled in ENG 101 and ENG 102 (or ENG 191 and ENG 192) and the appropriate mathematics courses from the time of their initial enrollment at Flagler College until such time as these general education requirements are satisfied.
