Why RU?

Small Class Sizes and Individualized Learning Experiences

Rockford University keeps classes small with an average rate of 10 students for every faculty member. Our class sizes allow students to receive the attention and personalized learning experiences they deserve. We hire the right educators who can bring expertise and experience to the classroom environment and beyond, to ensure an interdisciplinary and highly engaging educational focus.

Campus Experience

When you ask our students, “Why Rockford University?” you will find as many answers as you find students on our campus. One of the most significant commonalities in the responses you will hear is the sense of community. We know that college is when many people find their most profound friendships, and we encourage students to form communities around their shared interests. 

We also define our Rockford University community by how well we bring together our diverse collection of student communities so they can share experiences, explore cultures, and work together to achieve their dreams.
