Affordable Value
Saint Rose has one of the lowest private college tuitions in the entire Northeast. This remarkable value is accompanied by the kind of powerful academics often found in colleges and universities double or even triple the cost of Saint Rose. With 95 percent of students receiving scholarships and other financial aid, Saint Rose can give you an Ivy League education without the sticker shock. With no teaching assistants and an average class size of 20, Saint Rose is a remarkable educational experience at a price you can afford.

Location, Location, Location
Some colleges are far from anything, while others are located in such big cities that it can be overwhelming. Albany is a city that you will find is “just right”—surrounded by plenty of outdoor areas including the Hudson River valley and the Adirondack and Catskill mountains. You will benefit from the excitement of a vibrant Capital city filled with thousands of college students as well as museums, shops, restaurants, and galleries. With a coffee shop, movie theater, and plenty of pizza and sub places, the blocks surrounding the Saint Rose campus are full of things to do. The Capital Region is also quickly becoming known as Tech Valley, with many firms locating here and the entire area’s economy growing and prospering. What does this mean for you? It means more internship and job opportunities should you decide to call the Capital Region home even after graduation.

Values-Based education
True to the progressive values of the College’s founders, you will do more than develop your intellect—you will reflect on what gives life meaning and purpose. By becoming engaged with the community, whether it’s a few miles down the road or a few thousand miles around the world, you will become aware of the challenges that face so many, and perhaps you and your fellow students will be inspired to action. This campus, where thinking and action go hand in hand, cultivates students who are a cut above — energetic and effective citizen leaders.

Remarkable Outcomes
Saint Rose is not a college stuck in an ivory tower. Our job is to be centered on you, ensuring that you gain the skills and experience to achieve your life goals—whether that means staying at Saint Rose to earn your graduate degree in one of our accelerated dual degree programs, or receiving multiple corporate job offers even before graduation. Perhaps you will decide to spend a year in service by joining one of the volunteer organizations such as the Peace Corps. Recent Saint Rose graduates have chosen all of these options—crediting the College’s distinctive blend of liberal arts and career preparation for their success.
