From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.[citation needed]

Classes in the College of Arts and Sciences are typically worth four credits, in contrast to the traditional 3 credits per class structure of many American Universities. The college also requires 140 credit hours to graduate instead of the traditional 120.[citation needed]

Crummer Graduate School of Business[edit]

The Rollins College Crummer Graduate School of Business[1] offers a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) through three different programs:[2]

  • The Early Advantage MBA Program is a full-time day program designed for recent college graduates with little to no work experience. Students can complete the program within 16 to 21 months.
  • The Professional MBA Program is a 24-27-month program designed for students with a wide range of educational and professional experience that mirrors what you find in the workplace.
  • The Executive MBA Program is an intense, comprehensive program that can accelerate your career within 15 months. It has been designed for mid-to senior-level professionals who prefer a blend of online and Saturday classes.

Each program is designed to lay the foundation for students to accelerate their career goals, gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and advance in their organizations. Rollins MBA graduates are prepared for the challenges of a competitive global economy through international study opportunities, and all students and alumni have access to career development services. Rollins MBA alumni have access to events, networking opportunities, free MBA classes, and career services for life, as well as discounts on professional development courses offered through Rollins’ Management and Executive Education Center.[citation needed]

The Rollins MBA programs are listed in several national rankings of business schools, including:[3]

  • Forbes: 44th in the Nation (2017)[4]
  • Leadership Excellence: #1 in Florida (2018)

The Princeton Review features the Rollins MBA in its 2012 edition of "The Best 294 Business Schools" (2017 edition).

As of 2018, the Rollins Full-Time and Part-Time MBA programs are listed as Rank Not Published, or "RNP".[5] The bottom quarter of rank-eligible full-time MBA programs are listed as Rank Not Published.[6] Rank Not Published means that U.S. News calculated a numerical rank for that program but decided for editorial reasons not to publish it.[6]

The Rollins MBA is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.[7]

Hamilton Holt School[edit]

Adult education courses at Rollins were initially only offered to returning World War II veterans. On September 7, 1960, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Rollins College gave formal authorization for the Institute for General Studies to award degrees upon completion of program requirements. On November 6, 1987, the school's name was changed to The Hamilton Holt School, in honor of Rollins’ eighth president.[8]

The Hamilton Holt School[1] 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's focus is on the non-traditional student, identified as a working individual seeking professional advancement and therefore schedules most courses in the evenings and on weekends. Students enrolled in the Hamilton Holt School pay tuition per credit hour and are not eligible for on-campus housing, although surrounding communities offer off-campus housing specifically for Rollins students.[citation needed] The tuition at Hamilton Holt is $576 per credit hour or $1,728 per course. The Hamilton Holt School requires 140 hours to graduate and will also transfer up to 64 credit hours or equivalent to an A.A. degree from a 2-year community college. Students can also transfer in courses from 4 year colleges and universities. In addition, the program allows for students to register for the course load suitable to their schedule during any of the Hamilton Holt School's three semester terms (Fall, Spring, Summer). Taking smaller course loads will extend the student's completion date.[citation needed]

Graduate programs offered through the Hamilton Holt School include:[citation needed]

  • Master of Public Health (MPH)
  • Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
  • Master of Arts in Teaching Elementary Education (for new uncertified graduates)
  • Master of Education in Elementary Education (for established certified teachers)
  • Master of Human Resources
  • Master of Liberal Studies

Undergraduate programs offered through the Hamilton Holt School include, among others:[9]

  • African American Studies
  • Environmental Studies
  • Health Services Management
  • Humanities
  • International Affairs
  • Jewish Studies
  • Sexuality, Women's and Gender Studies

Special programs[edit]

Rollins also has four special programs:[10]

  • The Rollins College Conference
  • Honors Degree Program
  • Accelerated Management Program
  • International program
  • 3/2 Cooperative Engineering Program

Rollins College Conference (RCC)[edit]

The Rollins College Conference,[11] 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.[citation needed]

Honors Degree Program[edit]

The Honors Degree Program[12] 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.[citation needed]

Accelerated Management Program (AMP)[edit]

The Accelerated Management Program[13] 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.[citation needed]

International programs[edit]

All three schools at Rollins offer international courses[14] to destinations such as London, Sydney, and Madrid, among others. Some programs are offered directly through Rollins, while others are offered through partnerships with other colleges and universities. Students may study abroad for a week or an entire semester.[citation needed]

Athletics[edit]

Main article: Rollins Tars
1898 track team

Rollins participates in NCAA Division II's Sunshine State Conference for the majority of its sports; the College's women's lacrosse program competes as a DII independent program. The rowing teams compete in the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association and Florida Intercollegiate Rowing Association while the sailing squad competes in the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association. The Rollins water skiing teams compete in NCAA Division I, the only school program to do so. Rollins' athletic teams are called the Tars (an archaic name for a sailor).[15] Rollins' Athletic Tradition includes 23 National Championships and 67 Sunshine State Conference titles. The school sponsors twenty-three varsity teams:[15] The most successful sport in the history of Rollins is Women's Golf. They have 13 national championship titles.[16] In 1950 and 1956, Betty Rowland and Marlene Stewart Streit, respectively, won the women's individual intercollegiate golf championship (an event conducted by the Division of Girls' and Women's Sports (DGWS) — which later evolved into the current NCAA women's golf championship). In later years, Bettina Walker (1988, 1989), Debbie Pappas (1990, 1991, 1992), Mariana De Biase (2006) and Joanna Coe (2008) also became individual national champions at the Small College and NCAA Division II levels.

Campus life[edit]

Rollins College is located in Winter Park, a few minutes from downtown Orlando. There are more than 150 student clubs and organizations on campus, including a wakeboard club and ballroom dance club. The Tars, Rollins's athletic teams, compete in the NCAA Division II Sunshine State Conference and field a varsity waterskiing team among others. A sizeable Greek life on campus comprises more than 10 fraternities and sororities. About 75 percent of students live on campus in one of the residence halls or apartment complexes.[17] In addition, there are weekly shuttles, "Rolley Trolly", to provide transport to a shopping area for the students.

Fox Day[edit]

Fox Day is an annual tradition at Rollins. Since 1956 (except during the tenure of President Jack Critchfield, 1969-1978),[18] each spring, the president cancels all classes, providing undergraduate students with a surprise day off to explore local beaches and amusement parks,[19][20][21][22][23] together as a college,[24] returning in the late afternoon for a barbecue. It's known as Fox Day, because a statue of a fox is placed on Mills Lawn (the school's main lawn), signifying the day off.[22]

The fox statue, originally accompanied with a cat statue were a gift from Senator Murray Sams in 1934 to President Hamilton Holt as he thought it would be "fittingly enshrined" at Rollins. They originally came from France, and believed to be satirical pieces, depicting, "the Populace (Cat) making his sweeping bow in hypocritical salute to the Papacy (Fox). The statues were placed on pedestals near the old Recreational Hall which is now replaced by the pool.[25] Holt created a "Cat Society" for women and a "Fox Society" for men, these groups consisted of four people each, selected by an annual vote by the opposite gender of the student body for the opposite group. The statues were only allowed to be touched by the respective privileged members. Occasionally, the statues were taken and hidden as practical jokes.[22] However, the cat statue had been mysteriously destroyed in 1949 with the location of the remains unknown.[25] Since then, the fox is hidden and only brought out for Fox Day.

During Fox Day season 2015, a petition was widely circulated to include Holt and Crummer students in the popular tradition. Currently, these students are not excused from classes, limiting their involvement in the annual festivities; furthering the disconnect between the evening and graduate students on campus. In March 2020, the campus shut down and sent students home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in no Fox Day occurrence during the 2019-2020 academic year.

Winter Park Bach Festival[edit]

Since 1935, the Winter Park Bach Festival, the third-oldest continuously operating Bach festival in the United States,[26] has brought some of the highest caliber[27][28][29] of classical performers from around the world to campus,[30] for a two-week event.[31] The 150-voice[31] Bach Festival Society is regarded as one of the finest oratorio societies in America.[27][32]

WPRK 91.5 The Best in Basement Radio[edit]

WPRK 91.5 FM the Best in Basement Radio is a non-commercial college radio station located in Winter Park, Florida owned and operated by Rollins College. Its signal is audible in most of the Orlando metropolitan area, or from Seaworld to Sanford as said by DJs on-air.

In popular culture[edit]

After a speaking appearance at Rollins in 1988,[33] Kurt Vonnegut used it as one of the models for the school in Hocus Pocus and directly mentions Rollins as being the former place of employment of the fictional school's president.[34]
