Flagler College celebrates over 50 years of providing a rich, comprehensive liberal arts education in a small, supportive environment. Its heritage, however, extends back more than a century. Navigate through our interactive timeline to learn more about the College’s namesake, Henry Flagler, and how a hotel became a college.
Education
Flagler College offers an exceptional education through a challenging, inclusive, and supportive academic community integrated with the thriving culture and history of this unique place, St. Augustine. We foster intellectual, social, and personal transformation in our students. We prepare them for a diverse world that will always need discerning individuals, responsible citizens, and visionary leaders. The College is committed to the preservation of the former Hotel Ponce de Leon and other historic structures that grace its campus.
Research
For the second year in a row, Flagler College students took home the Excellence in Undergraduate Research Award at an April psychology conference held at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
Research across all disciplines has been conducted for many years at Flagler, but the college’s newly formed Office of Undergraduate Research is hoping to take it even further.
