University of Rochester

Established in 1850, the University of Rochester is one of the world’s leading research universities, with a long tradition of breaking boundaries, always questioning, learning, and unlearning. The university is a top-tier research institution with the third highest percentage of international students among all U.S. universities. Rochester offers over 200 academic majors to nearly 12,000 students, and houses six hospitals comprising a leading academic medical center and the nation’s premier optics institute. Rochester’s schools offer a liberal arts education, research experience, and advanced degrees in business, education, music, medicine, and beyond. The university’s 9:1 student-faculty ratio and the freedom to study what they love means students can pursue and connect with a wide range of interests, from math to music to modern dance, and receive personalized attention while doing it. The 275-plus student clubs and organizations provide plenty of extracurricular options.
