Fall 2013
As preparation for active and responsible citizenship in a global society, students need both breadth and depth in their learning experience. By majoring in at least one area of knowledge, students gain the depth necessary for professional and graduate expertise, whereas the general education curriculum at Rollins College exposes students to a more varied domain of knowledge and experience.
In keeping with the College’s mission to educate students to think critically across disciplines, the general education curriculum exposes students to the ways various areas of knowledge may reinforce and enrich each other.
To be eligible for a Bachelor of Arts degree, students must complete one course from each of the general education areas listed below. Please see the catalog for a full explanation of the area requirements.
