The Global and Public Affairs Learning Community (GPALC) is designed to help its residents advance their interests in the world around them, complementing the educational mission of FSU with special courses and frequent events and activities. Learning Community residents benefit from the resources of a large university (world-renowned faculty, a variety of course offerings in more than one hundred departments and other academic programs, academic and cultural activities almost every night, and a large and diverse student body), while also enjoying the benefits of a small college (close contact with a small community of students, small class sizes, and regular interaction with university faculty and staff).
The Community is intended for students with plans to major or minor in one of the social sciences, which includes political science, international affairs, sociology, economics and geography. The GPALC draws from the rich resources of the University, the College of Social Sciences & Public Policy, and the city of Tallahassee to create a unique learning environment. The central mission of GPALC is to educate students for citizenship in the community, state, nation, and world. If you're interested in understanding and impacting society at the local, state, national, and global levels, then this is the community for you!
