A Future-Proof Foundation

Your pathway to purpose is rooted in Rollins’ innovative interdisciplinary approach to education. Think about it as a future-proof foundation because you’ll build knowledge and tools that are designed to stand the test of time. You’ll develop 21st-century skills like complex problem-solving, analytical thinking, and collaborative teamwork that will prepare you to thrive no matter what the future throws at you.

Just ask Jacob Battad ’18, a physics major at Rollins who is helping craft next-generation customer experiences as a strategy, planning, and integration manager at Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products. While majoring in physics may not seem like the most likely path to a marketing career at one of the world’s largest entertainment companies, Battad credits his liberal arts education for arming him with the analytical tools and big-picture thinking to see solutions others don’t.

“My professors were instrumental in teaching me to see the bigger picture that all the data we collected was presenting and how to interpret scientific concepts for a layperson,” says Battad. “I apply those same concepts to seeing the bigger picture and creating a narrative around engagement rates, analytics, and revenue for anyone to understand.”

“My Rollins education provided the space and means to take up multiple interests and therefore multiple skill sets. Developing a specialization is valuable and important, but having multiple expertises and perspectives will not only aid in long-term career growth and adaptability, but it makes all of it that much more fun and interesting.”

“Going to Rollins and having a liberal arts education made me a well-rounded student, and taking classes across a range of disciplines taught me to fall in love with learning. My double majors exposed me to scientific methods and social-science thinking, which prepared me to read and understand the law—a very time-consuming endeavor—a lot quicker.
