Not many
universities have graduated a Nobel laureate. We have. Her name was Jane
Addams. Long before she won the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize, she was a
Rockford University student.At Rockford University, we’re still educating students with ideals Jane put
in motion – students who understand that with the proper tools, they
can change their world. Rockford University's strong liberal arts
program, abounding opportunities, and dedicated faculty and
staff provide students with the education and support needed to succeed.
Today, Rockford University enrolls more than 1,300 students
from around the world. We’re looking for students who share our passion
to change the world. At Rockford University, our students aren’t just
"preparing” to make a difference in the world, they’re making a
difference now. Think. Act. Change your world.
