- Established: 1970
- Founder: Rose State College was founded through a vote of the citizens in Midwest City, Del City, and portions of southeastern and northeastern Oklahoma City, rather than a specific individual or group of founders. However, it was established following the passage of Senate Bill Number 2 in 1967 and the subsequent votes and approvals. So, the answer would be: **Citizens of Midwest City, Del City, and portions of southeastern and northeastern Oklahoma City**

I wish this was a 4 year school. Getting enrolled was fairly easy compared to other colleges. I had no trouble getting enrolled every semester and the professors (all but 1 GE professor) were so understanding and really care about your education.

This is one of the best, safest, most enjoyable schools around! It seriously makes you feel as if you really are at a four year school instead of two. This is a special place. The faculty and staff want nothing more than for you to be successful. They not only welcome you with open arms, but love you unconditionally. 5 star rating for me!!!!!

I went to Rose as a concurrent student in high school and decided to apply as one of my options after graduation and I'm glad I did. Rose State offered more in scholarships than any other school and I decided to finish an associate's at Rose before transferring to a 4-year college to pursue a Bachelor's Degree. I graduated debt-free because of RSC.

I wanted to see if college was for me. I could not have chosen any better place. The professors, students, advisors, and workers make you feel at home here. I will be transferring to a 4 year University with 2 scholarships and an internship in my resume with no debt to my name. Take advantage of scholarships! This is why I Chose Rose.

Needs a lot of work
Overall 1.6
The library is completely shut down. I have never been able to get the internet to work. In some majors, they only offer some of the classes you need every few years. There are hardly any clubs. Its very poorly run. I've been trying to get in touch with the engineering adviser for 2 weeks. She's always "with a student." Its cheap for a reason.
Overall 1.8
Bad location, outdated teaching tools, fosters a largely self-taught curriculum. Staff are often rude and condescending toward students, with treatment bordering on abusive, and there is no oversight. They are trying to update to become more competitive in the market but are falling short on addressing lack of professional boundaries and behavior.
Overall 1.8
This is a adult with kids kind of college. Don't expect fraternities or any social clubs like that, there is also no dorms yet. The college experience? more like high school my friends call it the 13th grade. Do you want all the trills of staying up all night and college homework with none of the thrills of college then Rose State is your place.

This review is for the Radiologic Technology program. The professors offer no help. The program starts out with 20 students and ends with 10. If you're intrested in x-ray, go to metro tech.
