Rockford College > Academics

Rockford College has over 65 full-time faculty members and more than 68% percent have the highest degree in their fields. Our professors, who hold Ph.D.’s from such institutions as Yale, Vanderbilt and the University of Chicago, certainly qualify as experts in their field.

With a student faculty ratio of 11-to-1, in-class activism is both expected and appreciated.
