President’s Welcome

This is an incredibly exciting time at Rose State College. As we look toward the future, we’re enhancing the student experience, advancing workforce development, modernizing our campus infrastructure, and strengthening partnerships that benefit both our students and the communities we serve.
 
As the 8th president of Rose State, I’m honored to lead a college grounded in service, opportunity, and innovation. At Rose State, we are laser-focused on preparing students for real-world success. That means offering forward-thinking programs that directly align with today’s workforce needs—from aerospace and cybersecurity to health sciences, business, and beyond.
Whether you’re just starting your college journey, returning to finish your degree, or exploring new opportunities through lifelong learning, you’ll find that Rose State is a place where you can move forward with purpose, confidence, and momentum.
 
We offer more than 60 degree programs, with small class sizes and strong academic support systems like tutoring, advising, and mentoring. Here, you won’t be just a number—you’ll be known, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.

With the right support and encouraging environment, we know our students will be successful.

Rose State isn’t just a college—it’s a community. We provide resources that educate, empower, and inspire learners of all ages. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to helping each student thrive—and we can’t wait to welcome you to campus.

On behalf of the entire Rose State College family, thank you for considering us. We hope you’ll take that next step and join us. You’ll be glad you chose Rose.
