Finishing your bachelor’s degree will be one of your life’s best investments. After all, research shows that bachelor’s degree holders earn $721,000 more in lifetime earnings than peers who have some college but no degree. While that stat alone is enough reason to complete your degree, we know it takes more than motivation to return to school. That’s why Rollins designed its Professional Advancement programs to fit the busy lives of students like you. Take a closer look at five important ways Rollins Professional Advancement is clearing the path back to the classroom for working adults and transfer students.

Hybrid In-Person and Online Model

Our new hybrid format combines the best of in-person and online learning environments. Whether you’re attending class on America’s most beautiful campus or from the comfort of anywhere, you’ll receive the personalized attention and expert guidance that have made Rollins the No. 1 regional university in Florida for more than 25 years.

Convenient Class Times

Our evening classes are scheduled to suit your schedule. Beginning in fall 2023, every Rollins Professional Advancement class will start at 6 p.m. or later, so you won’t need to rush to make it on time.

Rollins Professional Advancement allows you to finish your bachelor’s degree at your own pace, giving you the option to pursue either a part- or full-time track.

Chart Your Own Course

Our general education curriculum includes just two prescribed courses. As a result, we have more flexibility to count your existing credits and you have the freedom to craft a one-of-a-kind educational journey tuned to where you’ve been and where you’re going.

The Support to Finish

Thanks to an average class size of just 14 students and a 11:1 student-faculty ratio, our professors have the freedom to focus on you. As a result, you receive the kind of guidance and support that’s harder to come by at a larger university or in a fully online program.
