Overview

Rosemont College is a small Catholic college on Philadelphia's Main Line, founded by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, known for close-knit, personal attention within the liberal arts, business, and education programs.

Academics

Small class sizes and direct faculty access are the hallmark of a Rosemont education, more than any single flagship program; the curriculum spans liberal arts, business, and education with a personal, mentorship-heavy style of teaching.

Campus & student life

The campus occupies a traditional Main Line setting outside Philadelphia, offering proximity to the city, and it has announced plans to unite with neighboring Villanova University, a development that will likely reshape its programs and campus identity going forward.

Getting in

Admissions has emphasized fit and personal attention over high selectivity, consistent with the college's small, close-knit character.

Worth knowing

The announced integration with Villanova is a major unresolved factor for any prospective student — details of how Rosemont's programs, admissions, and campus identity will change should be confirmed directly with the college before enrolling.
