First-Time Freshman Students

Choosing a college might be one of the most important decisions you ever make. You can go anywhere you want in life, and we’d like to show you why the place to start is here.

It begins with education, of course. Once you’ve selected Rose State, the harder choice might be selecting your academic track. We have more than 60 degree and skilled occupational programs from which to choose, and the guidance to get you where you’re going at every level. And if your plan is to earn a Bachelor’s degree, we’ll help prepare you for that as well. Did you know that many students who finish one of our academic programs and then transfer to a four-year university save about $10,000 on the cost of their college education?

In addition to academics and affordability, Rose State’s location is another asset. Just minutes from downtown Oklahoma City and right off I-40 in Midwest City, it’s extremely convenient for those commuting to class. Or, if you’d rather not make the drive, now you don’t have to. The Village at Rose State will accommodate full-time students who live in apartment-style living. Applications to live on campus for the Fall 2025 semester are now being accepted. Staying on campus would enable you to take full advantage of Rose State’s bursting-at-the-seams calendar of events and activities.
