I'm considering applying to Rollins College but I'm not entirely sure which major to pursue. What are some unique or standout majors that Rollins offers? I'm particularly interested in both arts and sciences.
Rollins College offers a wide variety of majors for both arts and sciences, many of which provide unique learning opportunities for its students. Here are a few standout major fields in both the Arts and the Sciences spectrum:
In terms of Fine Arts: The College offers a major in Art History, Studio Art Theatre Arts & Dance. Particularly interesting is the Studio Art major, where students work with faculty on real-world projects. This includes the "Art in the Community" where student artists give back by teaching after-school art lessons in local schools.
For those who prefer Performing Arts, you might be interested in the Music program. The Music major offers concentrations in Performance, Composition, and Music Management.
On the Sciences side, Rollins is known for its distinct majors. If you're into Environmentalism, consider the Environmental Studies major. Here, you'll have the opportunity to take part in fieldwork and internships in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems, as well as administrative offices and research labs.
Another interesting facet of the Science department is the Health Professions major. The Health Professions major allows for the pursuit of pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dental, and other pre-health professional tracks which prepares students for professional schools after graduation.
If social sciences interest you, the college has a dedicated Social Entrepreneurship program that combines business and social impact. This program was the first undergraduate degree of its kind in the nation and has been recognized as a leading program for positive social change.
Remember, academic exploration is an important part of college. You might take a class in a field you've never tried before and completely fall in love with it. Rollins' liberal arts setting certainly encourages this kind of discovery! So, while knowing which majors are available is helpful, keep an open mind as you start your academic journey.
