FRESHMAN LEARNING COMMUNITIES
EPIC FLCs include courses that are taught by faculty who have gone through the EPIC program’s Faculty Development. These faculty intentionally bring interdisciplinary materials into their classes to allow students to see the connections between their courses and other courses. Students can therefore receive a better understanding of how they are building their education as soon as they start at Georgia State.
FLC Coffees
An advantage of FLCs for students is a common group of courses in a given semester. The EPIC Program provides coffee for faculty instructing these common courses who are interested in sharing their syllabi and what they teach in their courses. This provides the opportunity to create new professional connections and reveal how courses fit together.
Perspectives Courses
EPIC FLCs include Perspectives courses that promote project-based learning. Students can choose Perspectives courses like Project Labs or larger courses that focus on Atlanta-based learning and are led by interdisciplinary faculty.
