You would be hard pressed to find a major at Rollins with more breadth of applications than psychology. It has relevance in every personal relationship and every career. That’s why students with degrees in the major understand the world in a whole new light—the “world” being people in the same room or across the globe.

The emphasis is on experiential learning, which includes work with preschool children, practice of therapeutic skills, and doing experimental labs. These hands-on experiences are rare for undergraduates, let alone first- and second-year students. With them, determine which specific application of psychology you want to further explore, be it education, business, or psychological practice.

“Small class sizes foster conversation. Professors are also mentors. These things helped me the most in my current role because the way psychology is taught at Rollins prepared me to understand and connect ideas from very different perspectives. Trust me, this is a huge skill to have in the workplace: to be able to merge opinions from different stakeholders into a successful outcome.”
