Flagler College-Tallahassee is a branch campus of Flagler College, a St. Augustine-based private four-year liberal arts college. The satellite campus in Florida’s capital city, hosted through Tallahassee Community College, commenced in 2000 as the product of a legislative mandate to expand opportunities for four year degree-seeking students.[3][4]

The school currently offers Bachelor of Arts degree programs in six majors including Accounting, Business Administration, Elementary Education, Exceptional Student Education, Secondary Education (English) and Strategic Communication.[5]

History

This branch campus of Flagler College is the outcome of a combined effort between former Tallahassee Community College President T.K. Wetherell and past Flagler College President, and current Chancellor, William Proctor; the two were longtime colleagues, knowing each other from Wetherell’s time playing for the Florida State Seminoles where Proctor served as assistant football coach.[6]

When Florida’s Legislature passed a mandate to increase opportunities for four year degree-seeking students through two year institutions, Wetherell contacted Proctor to begin development of a Flagler College branch through the TCC campus. As a result, Flagler College-Tallahassee opened its doors in the Fall Semester of 2000 with its first class of 56 students graduating in 2002. The school has since produced over 2,500 graduates across multiple disciplines.[6]
