Rollins College students study in Winter Park, Fla., near the Orlando metropolitan region, which has lots of warm weather and business networking opportunities for Roy E. Crummer Graduate School of Business students to experience. With campus about 50 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 70 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, Rollins students can take a break from their classwork by driving to the beach or by catching a Rollins College Tars Division II sports game on campus.

In the classroom, Crummer graduate students can earn an M.B.A. in a few different ways. Recent college grads can get a jump start on a master’s degree through the Early Advantage M.B.A.—a full-time program that can be completed within 16 or 21 months. People with extensive business experience can check out the Professional M.B.A. program, which can be completed in 24 to 27 months and offers flexible class scheduling so students can continue working as they earn their degree.

The third option for Crummer Graduate School of Business students is the Rollins Executive M.B.A.—an intense program for mid- to senior-level professionals who complete the degree via both online and on-campus weekend classes in 14 or 15 months. Students applying for the Executive M.B.A. do not need to have taken the GMAT, but admission is competitive.

The Rollins M.B.A. Business Career Development Center is a place that students should check out to make the most of their studies. The center offers career coaches, networking opportunities, mock interviews, and Bloomberg terminal access, among other things. After graduation, Crummer alumni can attend M.B.A. courses for free, pending seat availability and instructor approval.
