With a cut of the ribbon, Flagler College celebrates a milestone- 10 years since first arriving on the campus of Tallahassee Community College.

What started out as a satellite school of the main campus in St. Augustine has grown to be one of the biggest producers of business administration and elementary education degrees in our area.

"It's grown immensely when we started we had maybe 50-60 students and one class of each thing and now were up to 486 students. We've graduated over 1300 graduates and our graduates stay in the Tallahassee area," says dean of Flagler College, Dr. John Bruno.

Not only do they stay in the area, but they make up a large percentage of teachers in the surrounding school districts.

"Students come here they get their degrees from FAMU and FSU and then they leave town. The beautiful thing about the Flagler students is that most of the students are local and they remain here in the area and so thats how especially in education where the teachers have really been able to build themselves a great reputation," says Sara Williamson, the college's associate director of admissions.

"I've actually heard a lot from my employers and people who I've interviewed with that Flagler College is well known institution in Florida and it really speaks volumes of the people who are coming out of there," says Karl Loewe, a graduate of Flagler.

The school offers accounting and exceptional student education degrees and plans to expand into new programs in the future.

TCC welcomed four other institutions to it's campus since Flagler in 2000, including Barry University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Saint Leo University and Thomas College.
