With a class-like atmosphere, this program strives to teach Rockville residents about the city's history, its government, and its neighborhood leadership issues. Through weekly lesson plans, take-home assignments, field trips, and tours, Rockville University will help you develop the skills necessary to get involved in your community. Everyone wants to be part of a healthy, functioning community. Rockville University is open to any Rockville citizen older than 16 who is curious about the dynamics of their community, likes hands-on learning, and enjoys having fun. Class size is limited to 25 people, and participants must be able to attend most classes.
Semesters are typically nine weeks long and take place once in the spring and once in the fall.
A graduation ceremony attended by members of the Mayor and Council concludes the program, and students who have successfully completed the program, receive diplomas.
