"The salad bowl at Rockford College includes a healthy mix of students "right out of high school" and "returning students who have decided that a career change was in order." This often means "some are 18, some are 52," and "You can see all walks of life learning together and from each other." The student body is also given texture by "students from far away, all ethnicities and races, and different financial backgrounds." But above all, they're "motivated, intelligent, and socially conscious." Not to mention "friendly," "easygoing," and accepting of everyone. "Everyone is different in their own ways. Everyone is at Rockford College for a reason, which is to reach their goal.""
Rockford College Says...
Rockford College is a four-year, independent, coeducational institution founded in 1847. With over 70 majors, minors and concentrations to choose from, a return-to-college adult accelerated bachelor's degree completion program, as well as master's programs in business and teaching, we're bound to have the program you are looking for coupled with attentive professors and small classes. The college is one of only 11 colleges in Illinois and 280 in the country with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter, the oldest and most prestigious academic honor society. Rockford College has also been named a Best in the Midwest college seven years running, and a College with a Conscience by Princeton Review. Located on Rockford's eastside, the College has a beautiful 130-acre wooded campus.Like everything else about Rockford College, our academic programs are "hands-on" - faculty members are accessible and often include students in their research studies. With fewer than 20 students per class, you'll have significant one-on-one contact with your professors; in fact, our professors have been known to rearrange entire days just to work individually with a student.
Students at Rockford College don't hesitate to volunteer their time and talents. They teach adults to read, spend spring break building homes for underprivileged families, volunteer in soup kitchens, protest funding cuts, encourage community members to vote in elections, plant trees during Arbor Day, collect canned goods for the homeless, and so much more.
Whether it be in a classroom, on an athletic team, in our theater, as a volunteer for a community service project, or through experiences studying abroad, your time at Rockford College will change your world. Think. Act. Change your world.
