Programs of Study Rose-Hulman's educational objective is to provide a background that will enable graduates to be successful in the careers of their choice. Fundamental principles and concepts of engineering and science are emphasized. Twelve B.S. areas of engineering and science are offered. These degree programs can also serve to meet the course requirements for entrance to professional schools of law, medicine and business. Rose-Hulman students have traditionally scored high and upon admission have done well because of their background.
Recruiters representing corporations, government agencies, and graduate schools visit the campus.
Hundreds of on-campus interviews are conducted. The Professor At Rose-Hulman the median age of our professors is 45. Ninety-nine percent of the faculty have earned their Ph.D. All, including the president and the deans, teach undergraduate courses. The professor is hired and rewarded only for his or her teaching ability and interest in teaching undergraduate students. Because the professor has students of exceptional ability, because he or she is an outstanding teacher, because classes are small and teachers go out of their way to assist, the progress of the class is swift, the areas covered are broad, the education thorough, and the work demanding.
