Students at Flagler College 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 courses designated in the categories of Flagler Core Experience, Foundations of Knowledge, Creative Expression, and Ways of Knowing. 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. The General Education requirements should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.
All students are required to complete two courses in English Composition (ENG 152WI or ENG 172WI and ENG 202WI) and one course in Speech Communication (COM 101). In addition, students must demonstrate a sufficient level of skill and knowledge in the basic use of computers. This requirement may be satisfied by earning a passing grade in a computer literacy course within departmental requirements of the student’s major. Students are required to complete a minimum of five courses designated Writing Intensive (WI) within the General Education curriculum: ENG 152WI (or ENG 172WI), First Year Seminar, ENG 202WI, and two additional courses designated as Writing Intensive. Writing Intensive courses will be indicated by a “WI” after the course number, e.g. “HIS 101WI.”
Also, students are required to be enrolled in English composition courses (ENG 142, 152WI or ENG 172WI, and ENG 202WI). from the time of their initial enrollment at Flagler College until such time as this General Education requirement is satisfied. In addition to the requirements in English, communication, and computer literacy, students must complete the General Education Program.
Students are required to be enrolled in an appropriate mathematics course from the time of their initial enrollment at Flagler College until such time as their mathematics general education requirement is satisfied.
The purpose of the Flagler College General Education Curriculum is to cultivate literate, creative, socially responsible, and self-reflective individuals.
The courses in this category are intended to develop and refine students’ communication skills, quantitative literacy, and their ability to reason analytically and critically, which are applicable across disciplines and support the attainment of academic outcomes in all programs of study. Moreover, the essential competencies acquired in these courses constitute an enduring foundation for lifelong learning.
