Clarity & Confidence, On Time
Build both your judgment and your credentials in five years instead of six.
Rollins College + Crummer Graduate School of Business
Accelerated Management Program (AMP)
Combine your Rollins liberal arts perspective with Crummer business judgment. Earn your bachelor’s degree and MBA in five years through an intentionally guided pathway built for students ready to move with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Your undergraduate major gives you perspective. The AMP pathway helps you focus it into business-ready skillsets that employers look for in new hires.
Your Path to Two Degrees
The Accelerated Management Program (AMP) intentionally combines the liberal arts foundation you receive through a Rollins undergraduate education with an MBA from the Crummer Graduate School of Business. Whether you are studying political science, biology, studio art, business, international relations, or another field entirely, AMP equips you with the judgment and confidence to navigate the increasingly complex business world you’ll enter after you graduate.
And while most students spend four years earning a bachelor’s degree and then return for two more years to earn their MBA, AMP compresses your timeline to five years total—ensuring that you enter the workforce with a strong professional foundation, real business fluency, and a full year of time in school saved.
AMP students spend three years completing their undergraduate degree in the College of Liberal Arts. Then in what would be their senior year, they instead enter directly into Crummer’s Early Advantage MBA to build ethical reasoning skills, heighten their analytical capabilities, and become leadership-ready in 16–20 months.

Start Your Path to Two Degrees
Spring Entry Deadline: October 1
Fall Entry Deadline: February 15
Two Degrees. Five Years. One Clear Advantage.
AMP gives motivated Rollins students a guided pathway to combine undergraduate study with graduate business education. You keep the depth and breadth of a liberal arts education, then add the practical management, leadership, and analytical skills that help you translate that perspective into action.
Keep Your Financial Aid Longer
Your undergraduate scholarships and financial aid continue until you complete your bachelor’s degree requirements, helping reduce your total investment.
Evaluated on Judgment, Not a Test Score
We assess your thinking, preparation, academic readiness, and leadership potential — not a single standardized measure.
Lead from Day One
Graduate with both degrees and the confidence to step into meaningful professional opportunities without a gap year.
AACSB-Accredited MBA
Your MBA comes from a business school accredited by AACSB, a distinction held by only a small percentage of business schools worldwide.
Globally & Nationally Ranked
LinkedIn ranks Crummer as the No. 1 MBA in Florida, and has included it on its list of the Top 100 Best Business Schools in the World since 2024.
The result: A five-year pathway that helps you graduate sooner with a liberal arts foundation, a Crummer MBA, and the business judgment to apply your perspective with confidence.
Complete Your Bachelor’s, then Continue into the Early Advantage MBA
AMP students complete their bachelor’s degree before moving directly into graduate business study through Crummer’s Early Advantage MBA (EAMBA), a full-time MBA designed for recent graduates and early-career professionals.
Your Undergraduate Major Is Your Career Superpower
At Rollins, you are encouraged to think broadly about your education. AMP students have majored in everything from studio art and environmental studies to political science and international business. The program adds business fluency — finance, marketing, operations, leadership, and strategy — to whatever you are already passionate about.
What Your Bachelor’s Degree + an MBA Could Unlock:
Biochemistry + MBA
Health care policy, administration, life sciences strategy, and business roles in complex clinical or research environments.
Studio Art + MBA
Museum management, creative direction, arts administration, entrepreneurship, and leadership within creative organizations.
English + MBA
Marketing, entrepreneurship, brand strategy, communications leadership, and content-driven business development.
Environmental Studies + MBA
Sustainability consulting, corporate responsibility, ESG strategy, and business leadership in mission-driven organizations.
Political Science + MBA
Policy consulting, government affairs, nonprofit leadership, public-private partnerships, and strategic advocacy.
Any Major + MBA
The business skills employers value, layered onto the perspective and expertise you already bring.
AMP students can pursue any major. Business management and international business students participate, too, but the program is equally valuable — and often most transformative — for students who don’t major in business.
Where AMP Graduates Work
AMP alumni lead in environments requiring judgment, clarity, and strategic thinking — from policy and finance to technology, gaming, health care, and brand strategy.

An Investment in Your Future
AMP is designed to reduce the total cost and time of earning two degrees — and on the AMP pathway, you can make your undergraduate financial aid work harder than you might expect.
Undergraduate Tuition & Aid
You are charged the College of Liberal Arts tuition rate and retain your undergraduate scholarships and financial aid until you have earned 140 credit hours, which typically extends into students’ first year at Crummer and can create a meaningful MBA tuition discount.
MBA Tuition & Aid
After CLA scholarships fall off when you attain 140 credit hours, you transition to MBA tuition rates. Contact Crummer’s admission team for full details.
How AMP Saves You Money
By completing your MBA in five years instead of six, you save a full year of time and enter the workforce a year earlier. Combined with the CLA scholarship overlap into your first Crummer year, AMP delivers a meaningful return on investment.

Requirements to Stay on Track
AMP students maintain clear standards designed to build clarity and confidence in their readiness for Crummer and leadership.
| Requirement | Standard |
|---|---|
| GPA | 3.2 cumulative GPA |
| Credit Hours | 111–121 before entering Crummer. Exceeding 121 may affect scholarship eligibility. |
| Coursework | All general education, major, and minor requirements completed. Global travel is required if part of major requirements. |
| Internship | At least one verified internship before entering Crummer. |
| Workshops | Mandatory AMP workshops each semester during Years 1–3. |
| Conduct | No honor code or community standards violations. |
| Graduation Petition | Submit through MyRollins and complete a senior audit at least two semesters prior to their last term. |
AMP is designed to make you a strong and competitive applicant to the Crummer MBA program. Students complete the regular MBA application process, and admission is based on a variety of factors. Meeting AMP requirements does not guarantee admission.
Students who fall below a 3.2 cumulative GPA are placed on academic notice and must meet with their faculty advisor and the Head of AMP to create a return-to-good-standing plan. Two consecutive semesters below 3.2 without improvement may result in dismissal from AMP.
At least one verified internship is required before entering Crummer. Most students complete a 4-credit internship, but there is no minimum or maximum credit requirement. If a credit-bearing internship would push a student beyond the 121-credit threshold, which could affect undergraduate scholarship eligibility, a non-credit-bearing internship option is available per Head of Amp approval .
Application Deadlines
AMP students apply to Crummer in their junior year. Deadlines depend on your intended start term.
