Explore the world and test your ability to make it brighter

One of the missions central to Rollins is our quest to turn out globally engaged leaders and problem solvers, and one of the ways we accomplish that is by prioritizing international education programs and study abroad opportunities. That commitment is a big reason why more than 70 percent of our students study abroad at least once and why Rollins is consistently ranked as one of the best colleges for study abroad. With more than 90 study-abroad programs to choose from, the only question is how far will you go?

Why Study Abroad at Rollins

Not all colleges prioritize study abroad the way Rollins does.

  • First Year Field Study

    Rollins believes study abroad is so important it created the First Year Field Study, a 10-day expedition through Costa Rica’s national parks that offers incoming first-years international experience before even setting foot in a Rollins classroom.

  • Access to Financial Aid

    Every Rollins semester study abroad program is designed to cost as much as a regular semester, meaning your tuition and financial aid stay the same. The College also offers need-based scholarships to help ensure every student has access to this essential experience.

  • Prestigious Preparation

    Rollins’ commitment to study abroad is a big reason why we’re a top producer of Fulbright students and why our grads consistently earn prestigious scholarships that emphasize international experience.
