Rollins College

What you'll study

This programme is delivered within Rollins’ undergraduate business curriculum and blends core liberal‑arts courses with specialised international business modules. You will complete general education requirements alongside business fundamentals such as accounting, microeconomics, macroeconomics and statistics, then progress to international business‑specific courses.

• Core business topics: Financial and managerial accounting, principles of finance, organisational behaviour, marketing and operations management.
• International specialisms: International marketing, global strategic management, international finance and foreign exchange, international trade and policy, cross‑cultural management, and global supply‑chain management.
• Supporting studies: International business law, comparative economic systems, research methods, and area studies or contemporary foreign policy electives.
• Language and culture: A modern language requirement or demonstrated competency, plus courses that develop intercultural communication and regional knowledge.
• Capstone and experiential learning: A senior capstone or integrative seminar in international business, plus opportunities for internships with local and regional businesses, consultancy projects, and faculty‑led short‑term global programs.

Students are encouraged to augment classroom study with a semester or summer study abroad, international internships—leveraging Rollins’ connections in the Orlando business community—and participation in student organisations focused on entrepreneurship and global issues.

Entry requirements

Applicants should meet Rollins College’s general undergraduate admission standards. Typical successful candidates present strong secondary‑school credentials from a recognised system (for example, high school diploma, A‑levels, IB diploma) with evidence of quantitative ability and academic breadth. Recommended preparation includes coursework in mathematics and social studies or economics.

International applicants whose first language is not English will need to demonstrate English proficiency through approved tests or credentials, or through prior instruction in English, in line with Rollins’ admissions policy. Admissions decisions are based on academic record, personal statement, recommendations and any required interviews; relevant extracurriculars, leadership experience and interest in international issues strengthen an application.
