Academics at Rockford College - We have 63 full-time and about 60 part-time faculty members. More than 70 percent have the highest degree in their fields. Our professors, who hold Ph.D.’s from such institutions as Yale, Vanderbilt and the University of Chicago, certainly qualify as experts in their field.

With a student faculty ratio of 10 to 1, in-class activism is both expected and appreciated.
