After several years of research and planning, Flagler College has approved a new Biology major that will launch this fall and bring one of the most popular majors to campus.

A 2014 Coastal Environmental Science trip to Bermuda was the catalyst for a young working relationship between Flagler College and Bermuda College that was made official through the signing of an articulation agreement last month.

Robert F. Carberry, who was dean of Flagler College for 19 years and taught political science for eight years, passed away on Aug. 13, 2021, one day after his 90th birthday.
