4 Ways a Rollins Degree Can Change Your Life

1. Immediate Success: Relevant Coursework and Hands-on Learning

Thanks to Rollins’ 10:1 student-faculty ratio, students benefit from highly engaged and dedicated professors who are at the top of their fields. The personalized learning environment at Rollins’ Hamilton Holt School is specifically designed to maximize engagement and support, setting you up to gain traction and progress in your studies right away. Relevant coursework from the No.1 regional university in the South for undergraduate teaching also allows you to take what you’re learning in the classroom and apply it directly to your current career.

2. Immediate and Future Success: Networking Opportunities

Immersion in the Rollins community provides valuable networking opportunities. With a faculty dedicated to educating through the context of human relationships rather than from behind a computer screen, a personalized recommendation letter from your professor can make a significant impact on your next job application. Hamilton Holt alumni at companies like Amazon, Anheuser-Busch, Robinhood, and Lockheed Martin can provide connections for job openings and interviews. 

And lastly, thanks to Rollins’ intimate class sizes, the people in your group project could become lifelong friends. Expanding your network and relationships not only enriches your life but also your career opportunities. What you know is important (we’ll spend plenty of time learning about that in the classroom), but who you meet as a result of your Rollins education creates invaluable opportunities for success.

3. Future Success: Advancing Your Career

Did you know that the average salary for entry-level management positions is about $55,000 per year? With the majority of management roles requiring a bachelor’s degree, your BA from a top-rated college allows you to be a competitive candidate for these new jobs. Whether you’re looking to move ahead at your current organization or ready for a career change, a bachelor’s degree from Rollins unlocks a new level of career possibilities.

4. Future Success: Earning Potential

By now, you may know or have already experienced that professionals with a bachelor’s degree earn almost 50% more a week than those without a college degree. Your BA doesn’t just provide the credentials you need for those higher-paying jobs, it also gives you the confidence to negotiate the type of salary that accompanies these roles.
