3 Benefits To Choosing the Holt Program At Rollins College

By Alexa, Savannah, Alejandra, Antonio

College is a different experience for everyone. Some people want to live on campus, see  the  same  people  every  day,  and  eat  exclusively  at  the  on-campus  dining  halls.  Others appreciate   the amenities   of   campus   life   but   have   other   commitments   during   their undergraduate education to tend to. Both are valid, and in our experience at Rollins College, there are undergraduate programs to provide you with the unique college experience you’re looking for.

The Hamilton Holt School at Rollins College offers a variety of graduate and undergraduate programs with weekday and weekend evening meeting options. With most courses having 17 students, it’s a customizable education option to fit the lifestyle you’re already actively living. There are many benefits to the Rollins College education, but some are exclusive to the Holt program, learn about 3 of those benefits below. 

Convenience and Flexibility of Schedule 

Between family and work, you might feel too busy and intimidated to pursue your educational goal. I’m here to tell you you’re not alone! The Holt program might even be the answer to your concern as it’s designed to fit your needs and lifestyle. What I mean by this is that the courses are designed to meet the interests of professionals and other adult learners. This is because we understand that keeping your current professional occupation and being able to take care of your family is one of your main priorities when deciding when and how to  follow  your  academic  dream.  The  program  extends  quality  education  to  students  who prefer  the  flexibility  of  part-  or  full-time  study  and  the  convenience  of  late-afternoon, evening, and weekend classes. 

"I decided to come to the Holt program because they offer in-person and flexible schedule classes for my program that is usually found online." - Rachel Commodario

More economical than other Rollins Programs

Rollins Hamilton Holt Program offers more affordable tuition. Evening students get to pay per course; the administration puts a cap of 3 classes max per semester. Depending on your degree, undergraduate or graduate, the amount of money per credit varies. It can go from $503 to $685. This program could benefit working adults who want to finish their degree or continue their studies but can’t afford expensive programs. Tuition at the Hamilton Holt School is competitive and comparable to that of community colleges and state universities. More than 70 percent of Rollins students receive financial aid, and available aid packages include scholarships, grants, and work-study opportunities.

Job placement opportunities in most programs 

The Rollins Hamilton Holt Program offers on-campus job placement opportunities; in most programs, students and graduates can apply for full-time, Part-time, and Temporary staff members. In the Psychology department Ms. Commodario, one of the Holt students I interviewed in class, explained that After she graduates, Hamilton Holt school can give her a  job  in  her  majors'  department.  Ms.  Commodario  also  explained  that  the  Hamilton  Holt program  incentivizes  the  students  to  develop  new  services  to  help  Hamilton  Holt  students and CLA students. One example she expressed to me was that she presented the Holt Staff about  how  mental  health  is  vital  and  that  because  of  that,  Holt  helped  her  implement  a therapeutic center for the Holt and CLA students that will be open to all next semester. Ms. Commodario is finishing up her Holt Program, and for the past year, she has been working on  the  therapeutic  department  and  her  degree.  All  of  the  students  I  interviewed  explained how important the job Placement opportunities influenced their decision to come to Holt and how they are now recommending it to friends and families that are not involved at Rollins so far.
