Rose-Hulman Description:
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is one of the rare engineering colleges in the U.S. that focuses almost
entirely on undergraduate education (Harvey Mudd College is
another). Top schools like M.I.T. and Stanford place far more emphasis on graduate student research. Rose-Hulman's 295-acre, art-filled campus is located just east of Terre Haute, Indiana. For years U.S. News & World Report has ranked Rose-Hulman #1 among engineering schools whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's.
