MUCH MORE THAN A MAJOR The value you get from a Rollins education goes far beyond the expertise you develop in your major. When you look ahead to your college education, your major is likely the first thing that comes to mind. That makes some sense. After all, your major is a critical piece of your education—it’s where you’ll develop deep expertise in a specific discipline. But it’s also just one piece of a much bigger, far richer educational experience, and those other pieces are just as important to preparing for a purpose-driven life and productive career.
A Future-Proof Foundation
Gen eds are often thought of as classes to get out of the way before diving into your major. Not at Rollins. Our interdisciplinary core curriculum—Rollins Foundations in the Liberal Arts (RFLA)— equips you with broad-based knowledge and 21st-century skills like critical thinking and clear communication. These timeless tools aren’t just ideal preparation for your major, grad school, and your first job—they’re also a foundation for lifelong leadership and essential to thriving in a rapidly changing marketplace.
Liberal Arts in Action
You’ll put your newfound know-how to work in the world through an array of hands-on experiences that range from internships and study abroad to community engagement and collaborative research with faculty. You’ll not only develop your passions through these immersive opportunities, but you’ll also gain the kind of practical, real-world experience that employers and grad schools demand.
Living Learning Community
At Rollins, your education isn’t confined to a classroom, lab, or studio. In fact, every corner of America’s most beautiful campus is engineered to deepen and enrich your holistic education. Whether you’re in your res hall or the main dining hall, you’ll live with and learn from classmates from all around the country and across the globe. And you’ll learn to work together to solve problems as small as where you want to go for lunch and as large as sourcing clean energy.
