YOUR FIRST YEAR AT FC

Florida College has created a first-year experience initiative to help new students transition into our campus community. We want to ensure you feel ready to begin your college career with confidence. These initiatives are designed to assist you in reaching your ultimate goal of completing a bachelor’s degree–while making important relationships and growing in your faith along the way.

Setting You Up for Success

Foundations for a Biblical Worldview

The “Foundations for a Biblical Worldview,” class for incoming students will help ground you in your understanding of God, humanity, and morality. The course will provide depth in biblical teaching and practical applications as we better learn how to love and serve God and others. The foundations learned from this course will stretch across everything else you will do both on and off campus.

Common Reading

Each summer students, faculty, staff and administrators at Florida College have the opportunity to read and discuss a significant work, a “common reading,” that can foster meaningful discussions across the campus; it will be discussed formally in classes and in a public forum led by faculty members from various disciplines.

Honors Program

Sharpen your analytical thought and writing, deepen your knowledge, and develop oral presentation skills through our Honors Program. Through scholarship and internship opportunities, you will gain a greater ability to serve broader society.

Academic Advising

The Florida College Academic Advising Office provides academic assistance, help with career concerns, and personalized guidance to help students succeed at FC and beyond.
