Rollins College

[EduCativ]

Founded in 1885 by New England Congregationalists who sought to bring their liberal arts education style to the Florida frontier, Rollins is a four-year, coeducational institution and the first recognized college in Florida.
Challenging coursework, engaging service, and international opportunities, and nearly 100 student-led organizations and clubs create a rich living and learning environment ripe for you to find your passion and potential.
A Rollins education challenges you to step outside of your intellectual comfort zone—explore new ideas, reconcile seemingly irreconcilable perspectives, read critically, and write reflectively. In the process, you will attain a deeper understanding of the world and your place in it.
At Rollins, you will not serve the community for the very purpose of adding a line to your resume—you will connect your education and your passions to the needs of the world.
Rollins College educates students for global citizenship and responsible leadership, empowering graduates to pursue meaningful lives and productive careers. We are committed to the liberal arts ethos and guided by its values and ideals. Our guiding principles are excellence, innovation, and community.
Rollins is a comprehensive liberal arts college. Rollins is nationally recognized for its distinctive undergraduate and selected graduate programs. We provide opportunities to explore diverse intellectual, spiritual, and aesthetic traditions.
We are dedicated to scholarship, academic achievement, creative accomplishment, cultural enrichment, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. We value excellence in teaching and rigorous, transformative education in a healthy, responsive, and inclusive environment.
Rollins features small classes taught by renowned faculty. Our academics are enhanced by study-abroad and internship opportunities and ways to be engaged on campus and in the community.
For more than a century, we have held the belief that the academic experience we provide is about more than preparing you for a career. A Rollins education teaches you to open your eyes to the bigger picture, showing you how all areas of knowledge are connected, and how learning is a lifelong endeavor that continues long after graduating.
No matter what you study, you will learn a little bit of everything throughout your academic experience—social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, and the arts—and you will graduate prepared to enter a wide range of career fields. With classes averaging only 17 students and a 10-1 student-faculty ratio, you get the personalized attention you expect from a nationally recognized liberal arts institution.
At Rollins, you will make an impact around the globe. After all, more than 70 percent of Tars study abroad. From semester- and summer-long programs to faculty-led field studies, you will explore the world and test your ability to make it better.
Our focus on a global perspective began in the 1930s and has only gotten stronger. Today, Rollins ranks among the top 10 master' s-granting institutions in the country for students who study abroad. Two-thirds of our faculty are (or have been) actively engaged in international pursuits—taking students abroad, conducting overseas research, and teaching international courses.
Rollins offers dozens of study abroad opportunities, including semester programs, faculty-led summer programs, and faculty-led short-term field studies during the winter, spring, and summer breaks, through the Office of International Programs.
Programs in international relations, African studies, Asian studies, Latin American & Caribbean Studies, French, German, Russian, and Spanish further demonstrate our long-standing commitment to providing students with a broad and deep international perspective.
Rollins' faculty and students represent more than 50 foreign countries throughout Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Latin America. We're so proud of our international diversity that we have a flag for every country that our community represents hanging from the ceiling in the Cornell Campus Center.
Rollins Explorations offers various programs and resources to assist students with their transition to college and help them engage in a lifelong pursuit of scholarship.
Take the first step to a bright future. From requirements and deadlines to the cost of attendance and visits to America's most beautiful campus, we make it easy to apply to Rollins' traditional full-time undergraduate day programs in the College of Liberal Arts.
A top-ranked academic program is featuring individualized attention from award-winning faculty and staff. A picturesque lakeside location with weather that is so consistently beautiful, classes are often held outdoors.

Whether you are seeking intellectual and cultural enrichment, community and student organization engagement, or the excitement of intercollegiate athletics, Rollins provides a wide variety of opportunities for you to explore.
For a small school, you will find we have a lot going on. At Rollins, your academic experience is enhanced by study-abroad and internship opportunities as well as hundreds of ways to participate in student organizations and the local community. In this exciting and vibrant campus environment, every day is a new adventure. Much of that adventure is experienced through the many on-campus opportunities and resources available to you.
