In spite of these challenging economic times, Rose-Hulman Institute of

over 3,600 applications of admissions being received for the 2010-11

Interest High In Rose-Hulman: Prospective freshman students from
throughout the world have applied for admission to Rose-Hulman Institute of
Technology in record numbers for the second straight year. They hope to take
their place in the 2010-11 freshman class. |
This marks the second straight year that Rose-Hulman has achieved an
application record. Overall, applications have increased 20 percent over the
past two years, according to James Goecker, vice president of enrollment
management.
Applications are still being received for the 2010-11 freshman class at
http://www.rose-hulman.edu/admissions. The college is hosting campus
visitation days on February 15, March 12, March 19 and March 26 for
prospective students and parents. Financial deposits to hold a student for
the 2010-11 freshman class must be received by May 1.
“Families are refocusing on the meaning of higher education and are looking
for real indicators of quality and success,” Goecker said. “Whether it is
Rose-Hulman’s No. 1 ranking in U.S. News & World Report’s college guide, its
outstanding ranking in the National Survey of Student Engagement or its
career placement record, families see us as an outstanding institution.
Innovation and leadership skills will be critical in the future and students
and families recognize that opportunities like Rose-Hulman Ventures set
Rose-Hulman apart from other engineering programs.”
Rose-Hulman is also gaining an international reputation in undergraduate
engineering, science and math education. The 2009-10 freshman class had a
record number of international students and the admissions office has
experienced a 44 percent increase in international student applications this
year. Students from 44 countries have applied so far for Rose-Hulman’s
2010-11 freshman class.
“There is no more complete environment in undergraduate engineering
education today than Rose-Hulman,” Goecker added. “From the quality of its
facilities, faculty and students, the caring environment where each student
is encouraged to succeed or national rankings by peer institutions, Rose-Hulman’s
reputation is well earned.”
Goecker commended Rose-Hulman’s admissions staff with coping with the
increase in freshman applications. He noted that admission decisions are
being made and students notified in a timely manner.
“This record number of applications would not have been possible without the
dedication and professionalism of the entire Office of Admissions staff,”
Goecker said.
