Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is a private university located in Terre Haute, Indiana. Founded in 1874, it specializes exclusively in engineering, science, and mathematics education.
As a private institution, it operates independently of state government control and relies on tuition, donations, and endowments for funding. This allows the institute to maintain a focused curriculum with small class sizes and high academic standards.
Unlike public universities, Rose-Hulman does not receive direct taxpayer funding, which contributes to its higher tuition costs but also ensures specialized, student-centered learning experiences.
