What are the students like at Rose-Hulman?
Rose-Hulman Mathematics: The students have excellent incoming credentials in comparison to most other schools, especially public schools. All courses are fast-paced and so there is a high workload. Students must be organized and have an good work ethic to survive. On the other hand, the Rose community is very close-knit and supportive to help students meet these expectations. Most students have a utilitarian view of mathematics, and so in the lower division courses application of mathematics is an excellent motivator for learning the concepts. We strive for a balance of application, problem solving and foundational concepts. Students at Rose-Hulman have much more advanced placement than at a typical school.
