History
These words have described Saint Rose since 1920, when the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet — known for their dedication to unity with all people—founded the college. From the outset, while building on a liberal arts curriculum, the College emphasized the professional training of teachers for which it is renowned even today, along with a diverse offering of majors and programs.
Education
The College of Saint Rose community engages highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students in rigorous educational experiences. In the progressive tradition of the founding Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, we welcome students from all religious and cultural backgrounds.
Research
Undergraduates can do scholarly research. It happens all the time at Saint Rose. Our students propose their own projects, apply their coursework to topics that interest them, frame questions, test hypotheses, and even present their findings at academic conferences.
Meanwhile, Saint Rose gives these researchers many opportunities to excel. We support student travel to conferences to present research, award summer research grants to undergraduates, publish an annual Undergraduate Research Journal, and hold an all-College undergraduate research symposium each spring.
Career
The Career Center provides advisement, resources and programs to support undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni. We cultivate relationships with employers to develop a network of professional connections and to provide access to a wide range of opportunities and experiences. We develop collaborative partnerships with faculty and administrative departments to support our student and alumni career interests and goals.

Student services
The Student Solution Center is designed to answer students’ and parents’ questions involving the Bursar, Financial Aid and Registrar offices. Because these three student services are interrelated, the College has created a one-stop resource where students can address their needs and gain advice about all three aspects at once. Our office is also a good place to start when you don’t know where else to go with a question.
Housing services
Most residence halls include a common room, a kitchen, and laundry facilities. Rooms are furnished with standard twin beds, dressers, desks, chairs, closet or wardrobe, and basic cable. RAs develop a range of activities to help their residents bond with one another. First-year students start out in Brubacher Hall, Lima Hall, or RCC (Riley, Carondelet, and Cavanaugh Halls); transfer students will be housed with other upperclass students in residence halls on campus.

Campus life
The data tell a compelling story: students who live on the Saint Rose campus do better academically, get more involved in activities, and stay connected long after graduation. That’s why we’ve provided such a wealth of options for housing—Victorian-style houses and furnished apartments, suites and townhouses, and traditional dorms as well.
