The faculty-led Field Study programs emphasize experiential learning: why just read Shakespeare, when you can see a play performed at the Globe? Why hear a lecture on reforestation, when you can hike through a rainforest to interview staff at a research station? Faculty have designed their Field Study programs to take advantage of the location and have worked to integrate more traditional coursework with hands-on experiences that will enhance the curriculum and provoke discussion and active engagement.

Most Field Study programs are one week to three weeks long, typically earn two to four credits, and offerings vary from year-to-year. Since these are faculty-led programs, they are normal Rollins courses and appear on your transcript as such. Field Study programs do represent an additional cost. International Programs offers partial need-based scholarship funding to assist with the costs for these programs.

"I dressed, ate, and spoke like an Italian. And the people reward you for your effort in such amazing ways. You walk into a little out-of-the-way cafe, and the next thing you know you’ve been there for hours sitting with the owner talking and eating together. The Trinity program in particular creates opportunities for you to build relationships like this with professors too. The class sizes are the same as or smaller than Rollins’, and you find that the professors are easily some of the most knowledgeable people you have ever met."- Trinity Program/Rollins Alum

"I ventured to Japan my senior year of Rollins with no knowledge of Japanese, and a pocket guide of not-so-useful phrases. However, through my blunders and risk-taking, I met a colorful group of international friends...Together, with a ragtag trans-continental assortment of international students, I was able to scale Mt. Fuji and karaoke till dawn, navigate a train system in a language that makes no use of the English alphabet, and somehow, amidst the fun, learn more than I ever thought I would." — Rollins College Alum.
