Schools and Degree Programs

Rollins has three schools that offer a variety of programs: the College of Arts and Sciences, the Hamilton Holt School, and the Crummer Graduate School of Business.

College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences[1] has approximately 1,770 students and a student to faculty ratio of 10 to 1. Ninety-two percent of the faculty possess a Ph.D. or the highest degree in their field. "PhD" redirects here for other uses see PhD (disambiguation. The College offers twenty-eight undergraduate majors and a variety of interdisciplinary programs that allow students to design their own courses of study. College ( Latin collegium) is a term most often used today to denote an Educational Institution.

Like many liberal arts programs, the College of Arts & Sciences operates on the philosophy that students should receive a well-rounded education regardless of their chosen specialty. As such, completion of a Bachelor of Arts degree requires the 140 credits required for graduation to be approximately evenly derived from general education courses, major/minor courses, and elective courses.

Classes in the College of Arts and Sciences are typically worth 4 credits, in contrast to the traditional 3 credits per class structure of many American Universities. A credit is a unit that gives weighting to the value level or time requirements of an academic course. The college also requires 140 credit hours to graduate instead of the traditional 120.

Hamilton Holt School

The Hamilton Holt School[2] offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in a variety of majors as well as several graduate degrees. Like the College of Arts & Sciences, the undergraduate program at the Hamilton Holt School requires a combination of general education courses, major/minor courses, and electives. Unlike its residential counterpart, however, the Hamilton Holt School targets adults seeking professional advancement and therefore schedules most courses in the evenings and on weekends. Students enrolled in the Hamilton Holt program pay tuition per credit hour and are not eligible for on-campus housing. From Fall 2006 to Fall 2007 the cost per tuition hour raised 28% from $220 to $309 per semester hour[3].

Graduate programs offered through the Hamilton Holt School include:

Crummer Graduate School of Business

The Crummer Graduate School of Business[4] offers a Master's Degree in Business Administration (MBA) in four different programs:

The Crummer school also offers a Management and Executive Education program. This program targets organizations that wish to provide training and development to their current or future managers and executives. While courses in this program do not generally lead to a degree, they are tailored to the specific requests of the client organizations. Courses may be single-day training workshops or a long-term program of study, and the may be conducted on the college campus or another site selected by the client.

Special Programs

Honors Degree Program

The Honors Degree Program[5] allows the top students in each entering class of the College of Arts and Sciences to complete a series of special interdisciplinary seminars, which replace approximately two-thirds of the school's general education requirements. To earn an honors degree, students must also complete a thesis in their major field during their junior and senior years.

Accelerated Management Program (AMP)

The Accelerated Management Program[6] allows selected students to earn both a BA from the College of Arts and Sciences and an MBA from the Crummer Graduate School of Business in a total of five years. Students enrolled in this program must complete all general education and major/minor requirements prior to the conclusion of their third year. In their fourth year, students take courses from the Early Advantage MBA program, from which credits are applied to both their undergraduate and graduate transcripts. Upon completion of the fourth year, AMP students graduate from the College of Arts and Sciences and walk with their class at commencement. In the fifth year, students complete the MBA degree and graduate a second time.

Rollins College Conference (RCC)

The Rollins College Conference[7], taken in the first semester of a student's freshman year, is required of all non-transfer students in the College of Arts and Sciences. The course serves as both an orientation course and a topic course in a student's area of interest. The professor for this course will serve as the enrolled students' academic advisor until they select a major and choose a new advisor from the corresponding department. One or two peer mentors (upperclassmen with special training) join the course and offer counseling and support to the new students. The conference also contains a fourth hour time block each week where students participate in bonding and socialization activities.

International Programs

All three schools at Rollins offer international courses[8] to destinations such as London, Sydney, and Madrid, among others. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. Sydney (ˈsɪdniː is the most populous city in Australia, with a Metropolitan area population of approximately 4 Madrid (pronounced in English in Spanish and colloquially in Spain) is the Capital and largest city of Spain.

Erected in 1938 and dedicated on Armistice Day, by college president Hamilton Holt, it consists of a German artillery shell, surrendered by Germany at the end of the First World War, mounted on a pedestal, bearing this inscription:[3]

Pause, passerby and hang your head in shame
This Engine of Destruction, Torture and Death Symbolizes:
The Prostitution of the Inventor
The Avarice of the Manufacturer
The Blood-guilt of the statesman
The Savagery of the Soldier
The Perverted Patriotism of the Citizen
The Debasement of the Human Race
That it can be Employed as an Instrument of Defense of Liberty, Justice and Right in Nowise Invalidates the Truth of the Words Here Graven. Alumni See also Rollins College 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar.
