Opportunities for minorities

Diversity is about accepting each other as we are and recognizing we each bring our own unique strengths and experiences to all that we do. Engineering is a profession dedicated to teamwork and values the contributions all people can make. Whether one is a member of the majority or minority population, whether one is an American citizen or from another country, we all have something to contribute and to celebrate.

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is tremendously proud of its students and alumni of color. Their contributions to the campus culture and to society in general are impressive. Rose-Hulman's minority students buck national trends - nearly 70% of our students of color have graduated since 1990.
