Campus Description
Founded in 1850, the University of Rochester is one of the leading private research universities in the country. The distinctive curriculum ensures a broad liberal arts education by allowing undergraduates' interests to drive their learning. Students pursue at least one major within one of the three great branches of learning - the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences (including math and engineering) - and take a cluster in each of the other two. Rochester's personal scale and the diversity of its college and professional schools permit both attention to the individual and unusual flexibility in planning undergraduate programs. Students may choose among courses in six colleges and professional schools; the College (Arts and Sciences, Hajim School of Engineering), the William E. Simon School of Business Administration, the Margaret Warner School of Education and Human Development, the Eastman School of Music, the School of Nursing, and the School of Medicine and Dentistry. Special programs include the Take Five Program which allows selected undergraduates a fifth year of tuition-free study; combined admission programs in medicine (REMS), business (REBS), engineering (GEAR) and education (GRADE); Quest freshman research seminars; and the Kauffman Entrepreneurial Year program for students seeking to transform an idea into an enterprise.
