Rockford University students belong to a community of communities, have access to accomplished and engaged faculty and staff, learn from academic experiences with practical applications, and benefit from a focus on global perspectives.

Rockford University graduates aren't like everyone else. In fact, our alumni are pretty amazing. They have led groundbreaking research in the field of cardiology, coached a Division 1 program to the NCAA Tournament, tested the first artificial heart valve in humans, traveled with the national tour of Cats and Wicked, and won the Nobel Peace Prize.

For more than 166 years, Rockford graduates have made their mark around the world. Far more than preparing students to do something, we empower our graduates to accomplish anything.
