“My experience with the Teacher Education Department was tremendous. I chose Toccoa Falls partly because of the quality of this program and it exceeded my expectations. Being able to have real relationships with staff and professors was invaluable. My time and education at TFC has given me success professionally both in and out of a classroom setting. My education coupled with other opportunities and experiences makes me grateful I made the decision to attend Toccoa Falls College.”
