At Rollins, they really help you think outside the box. I'm a Mom, I work full-time, and I went to school. My experience at Rollins was incredible. The Pathways Program is a way to reach those dreams and reach those goals of becoming a teacher, and now I’m here two years later, so it’s still kind of mind blowing for me.

The Rollins College MAT program is an exceptionally well thought out and well-designed program that has prepared me to be an instructional leader from day one. This program set the bar high, diminished the learning curve, and has distinguished me from my peers in advanced education. I highly recommend this program to all future educational leaders.
