Stepping into some college classrooms can be overwhelming—rows of seats stretching endlessly, a professor lecturing from a distant podium. Not at Rollins. With an 11:1 student-faculty ratio and an average of just 17 students per class, you’re not a spectator—you’re a key player in dynamic discussions. Here, your professors don’t just lecture—they listen, challenge, and guide.

Whether you’re dissecting German literature, unraveling complex mathematical theories, or analyzing Taylor Swift’s latest promotional campaign, you’ll make connections across disciplines and develop critical skills like communication, collaboration, and problem-solving in a setting that values your perspective and teaches you how to think—not what to think. It’s no wonder that we rank among the nation’s top 25 for best classroom experience and No. 1 among regional universities in the South for our commitment to teaching undergraduates. So go ahead—take a seat, any seat. At Rollins, no matter where you sit, you’re in the middle of the action.

Jay Kirkley

“The future isn’t about having the right answer and memorizing a bunch of facts. The future is about asking really good questions, thinking critically, communicating your ideas well to others, building relationships, and solving problems—and that’s what an interdisciplinary liberal arts education at Rollins prepares you to do.”

MPhil Candidate, University of Cambridge


Hayley Stoddard

“The professors at Rollins put a lot of care into your future— they really want to help you succeed—and they give you a lot of attention both in and outside the classroom. The resources I gained from Rollins have helped me become a more well-rounded person, to be able to think on my feet, be in uncomfortable situations, and trust myself.”

“In Rollins classrooms, I developed skills I use every day in my career. Whether it was collaborating on projects, presenting ideas, or thinking critically about problems, I was always encouraged to engage and participate. Those experiences built my confidence in communicating, working with diverse teams, and solving challenges creatively.”
