Founded in 1874, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has established itself as the consistently top-ranked undergraduate engineering college in the United States. The beautiful campus in west-central Indiana is home to some of the nation’s best STEM students, faculty, staff, and facilities. Averaging more than 2,000 undergraduate students and 70 graduate students, Rose-Hulman offers over 25 STEM academic programs. Students represent 49 states and territories and 29 countries. Since its founding by businessman Chauncey Rose in 1874, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (then Rose Polytechnic Institute) has thrived under dedicated leaders whose vision has propelled the Institute from its beginning as a little-known, all-male engineering college to a world-class institution on the leading edge of engineering education in the United States. Today’s Board of Trustees, acting president Robert A. Coons, and cabinet members are committed to continuing, and building upon, this legacy of excellence.
