CATALOG 2016 - 2017 The centerpiece of the Flagler College campus is the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, a grand resort built in 1888 by Henry M. Flagler, industrialist, oil magnate, land developer, and railroad pioneer. Welcome to Flagler College. Welcome to an academic experience like no other: a campus steeped in history, a faculty known for innovation, and a student body driven by a fundamental desire to succeed. Flagler College was founded in 1968, but the history of our stunning campus dates back to 1888, when railroad tycoon Henry Morrison Flagler opened the Hotel Ponce de Leon to attract tourists to the nation’s oldest city, St. Augustine. Today much of the historic campus is featured on the National Register of Historic Places. Flagler’s students look to the future while immersed in the charm and mystique of a one-of-a-kind historic environment. Welcome to your future.

The Newest Charms. Brick-Lined streets. Towering spires. Majestic oaks and swaying palms. A walk through St. Augustine, through the historic campus of Flagler College, is a walk through a tropical paradise in a place where time, it seems, stands still. The oldest continuously occupied settlement of European origin in the United States, St. Augustine was founded by Spanish explorer Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles in September 1565 and today remains a shining jewel in Florida’s tourism economy. Rich in history and vibrant with contemporary lifestyle, St. Augustine offers a mix of art, music, fine dining, casual eateries, sporting events, and shopping that makes it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. And at Flagler College, you’ll be directly at the heart of this bustling town center—a place where your life fits your style. And did we mention the beach? With more than 40 miles of natural beaches that will take your breath away, St. Augustine offers an oceanfront refuge like none other. These are the same beaches that stopped Ponce de Leon in his tracks in 1513, the same beaches hotly contested by the British and the Spanish for ages, the same beaches on which the Timucuan Indians once made their home. And the travel time from downtown campus to shore break? Five minutes, tops. 7 Majors and Minors With a Purpose.
