| Mission | |
| School mission: | The College of Saint Rose is a private liberal arts college in the heart of Albany that instills students with the passion, knowledge and purpose, not only to do great things-but extraordinary things. By becoming engaged with the community, whether it is helping to jump start inner-city micro businesses or inspiring at-risk kids to pursue science and math, Saint Rose students learn of their role as citizen-leaders. Saint Rose hosts internationally renowned speakers, musicians and leaders so that our students are exposed to the exciting exchange of ideas & perspectives. Our own Jimmy Fallon, former Saturday Night Live comedian and now late night star, will return to accept his B.A. in communications which he completed through the College's Experienced Adult program to address the class of 2009 along with pollster John Zogby. With professors who are recognized scholars in their fields and an average class size of 20, students develop mentoring relationships that last long after graduation. 66 undergraduate programs ranging from the humanities to education, mathematics and sciences to business, provides many choices and accelerated dual degrees enable students to complete both their undergraduate and graduate degrees in five years. This values-based education goes hand-in-hand with the kind of highly credentialed faculty and seminar-style classes often found in colleges double or triple the cost of Saint Rose. With one of the lowest private college tuitions in the entire northeast and more than $23 million in scholarships and grants awarded in 2009, Saint Rose is a remarkable educational experience at a price families can afford. Recent Saint Rose graduates are employed at numerous schools, colleges & companies, including the American Red Cross, Astra-Zeneca, Centers for Disease Control, DreamWorks, IBM, Houghton-Mifflin, Lehman Brothers, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Hallmark Corp., Hearst Newspapers, KPMG, MTV Networks, NBC,and VH-1 Network. Many students pursue graduate study at prestigious universities including Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, Dartmouth Medical School, Duke Medical School, Georgetown Law School, Harvard, Notre Dame, NYU, Tufts Medical School and Yale University. The most significant of the ongoing investments we are making this year is the construction of the Center for Communications and Interactive Media scheduled for completion in January of 2010. A 20,000 square foot facility will house new TV & radio studios, a live recording studio, video and film viewing room, multimedia computer labs and offices for the College's communications & music industry faculty. When completed, it will join the Massry Center for the Arts and the Campus Theatre to form an arts and communications section of the campus. Perhaps the clearest commitment to the cultural life of the City of Albany, the construction of the $14 million Massry Center for the Arts completed in September. Within the Massry Center's 46,000 square feet of wireless & smart classrooms, practice & performance space, music students experience the finest sound quality as they rehearse & perform a wide variety of orchestral & choral works. Designed with state-of-the-art acoustical technology features, a 400-seat performance hall, acoustically congruent but separate instrumental and choral rehearsal suites, applied teaching studios & piano keyboard laboratories. The College is also investing more than $2.5 million in land it is leasing from the City of Albany to create a home turf for the College's outdoor athletic programs. The Joe Plumeri Sports Complex will feature an NCAA level baseball field, softball field and an artificial turf soccer/lacrosse field as well as a natural grass practice field. These fields will be the home fields for the Saint Rose Golden Knights, who have regularly won bids to NE-10 conference and Division II national tournaments and for intramural and club sports. |
