Admission Requirements

Admission to the Rollins MBA is selective and based upon an evaluation of all application materials submitted by the candidate. Previous academic records, score on the GMAT or GRE (except for the Executive MBA program), prior work experience, and leadership skills are among the factors that are evaluated during the admission process. You do not have to have an undergraduate business major to enroll. Each MBA program has different criteria for work experience, so it is advantageous to speak with an admissions counselor to find out about specific requirements.

Description of Learning Environment for Students

At Rollins you will get to know your professors and your classmates, developing professional associations and personal friendships that will last for the rest of your life. Each MBA class moves through the program as a cohort, sharing the same educational experience. Individual participation in classroom discussions is emphasized, as well as working in group study teams. Your team of diverse professionals is assigned during orientation and remains together throughout most of the program. Teams meet outside of regular classes to prepare for group presentations, study for tests, and act as support systems by helping members succeed in accomplishing the necessary assignments. This team-based approach has led to Rollins having one of the highest graduation rates in the country.

Faculty

Rollins MBA faculty mentor, coach and challenge you based on your needs and interests. They are invested in your success and will guide you toward it.

Our faculty members hold the highest degrees in their field and the school only hires at the associate or full faculty level. For students this means that the person teaching your class has had extensive experience teaching MBA students. This is enhanced by the fact that our faculty only teach on the graduate level, so truly understand the needs of MBA students. The school also never uses teaching or graduate assistants in the classroom environment.

Tuition

The Rollins MBA gives you a higher return on this investment than most other MBA programs. It instills deep critical-thinking, leadership and problem-solving skills that will benefit you throughout your career. Once you enroll in a Rollins MBA program, you will also have access to Rollins’ dedicated Career Development Center for the rest of your life. Rollins MBA students also have immediate access to a wide network of successful alumni who will help you extend your reach.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides tuition benefits, a housing allowance, and a book allowance for veterans who meet the eligibility requirements. In addition, Rollins College is a full participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program which means that all eligible veterans (and dependents) who are admitted into any of Rollins' programs will receive enough grant aid from the Veterans Administration and Rollins College to pay the entire cost of their tuition and fees. Eligible veterans will not need to take out loans or find other funding sources for a Rollin's education.

The Crummer School also waives the application fees for any military personnel who have been active within three years prior to applying to the MBA program.
