At Toccoa Falls College, students are encouraged to embrace a variety of learning experiences while developing Godly character and intellectual knowledge.
CROSS-CULTURAL STUDIES AND GLOBAL EDUCATION
The Cross-Cultural Studies major offers students the opportunity to study abroad their senior year. Students may select one of the various centers located outside the United States to complete this experience, allowing them to walk away with a better understanding of cross-cultural principles. Other TFC students are also able to take advantage of the Best Semester abroad by partnering with the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
SERVICE AND OUTREACH
Service and outreach are an integral part of the educational experience at TFC. The College clearly understands that the Bible urges everyone to serve others both locally and globally. While enrolled at TFC, students are required to complete a student ministry assignment during four separate semesters of enrollment.

FAITH IN THE CLASSROOM
In the classroom, students encounter faculty who integrate their faith into the subject matter. TFC understands that amassing facts can be pointless without the integration of knowledge and Biblical understanding. Its faculty ultimately stress the importance of God’s wisdom over that of humans, as true understanding comes from God Himself. As the inerrant, authoritative word of God, the Bible provides all the direction anyone needs to develop Godly character. Faculty teach that, in spite of competing worldviews in our culture today, God’s absolute truths will always withstand the test of time.
FIELDS OF STUDY
All TFC students are challenged to integrate scripture, truth, wisdom, and service into the major of their choice. The College currently offers thirty-three majors in a wide range of fields, including Pre-Med, Nursing, Outdoor Leader and Education, Sport Management, Counseling Psychology, Teacher Education, Music, Ministry, Business Administration, and Cross-Cultural Studies.
TFC is nestled into the foothills of the Northeast Georgia mountains yet close enough to experience big cities such as Atlanta, GA, and Greenville, SC.
LIFE OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
There is more to the college experience than just classrooms and the library. With so many student clubs and organizations on campus, there is always something happening at TFC! Toccoa Falls provides many opportunities to foster Christian community and build character. In addition to the customary associations of residence hall life, TFC’s Student Government Association is dedicated to providing fun events for students ranging from banquets and Homecoming festivities, to skydiving and rock climbing trips, to trivia nights and grocery bingo. TFC also offers many opportunities for spiritual formation through chapel services, small groups, and student-led prayer and worship nights. These events provide an opportunity for students to mature in relation to oneself, others, and the Lord. It is through this maturing process that the college seeks to develop the whole student in areas of social, physical, mental, and emotional development.
ATHLETICS
From championship intercollegiate sports for men and women to a fun and relaxed intramural program, athletics plays a big role in campus life at TFC. The primary goal of TFC’s athletic department is to train Christian servant leaders, physically and spiritually, producing graduates who implement the necessary skills required after college life. Toccoa Falls College is a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association.
