Choosing a Major at Rollins College

I'm looking into the different majors offered at Rollins College and feeling a bit overwhelmed. Can anyone share their experiences or insights on choosing a major there? Are there standout programs that might be worth considering?

As you figure out your academic path at Rollins College, it's normal to feel daunted by all the options available. While I can't share personal experiences, I can provide some information that may help you in your decision-making process.

First, it's important to remember that your major isn't necessarily a life choice. Many students pick up their major elements in later semesters, after they've explored a bit. That said, Rollins is a liberal arts school that is known for its programs in international relations and affairs, psychology, and biology. These programs marry the liberal arts focus of the college with opportunities for practical experiences.

Speaking of standout programs, Rollins College also offers a unique major called International Business, which takes a liberal arts approach to the field of business. This program emphasizes the key principles of business and their application in a global context.

For those interested in humanities, the English Language and Literature/Letters program at Rollins College is highly rated. Similarly, its Visual and Performing Arts is praised for its mixture of theory and application.

One thing to consider is what truly interests you and how that aligns with your future career goals. You might also want to consider the faculty and resources available in each department, as well as opportunities for internships, research, or study abroad programs associated with each major.

Lastly, talking to admissions representatives, professors, or current students from Rollins could be an excellent source of firsthand knowledge about different majors.

Keep in mind that your choices in the first year or two are not set in stone. Many students use that time to explore different areas of interest by taking electives or getting involved in clubs and organizations related to certain fields. In any case, the choice of a major is deeply personal and should ultimately align with your own interests, strengths, and passions.
