Theater Department

We have a small theater department but that only allows the actors to have even more time with the directors and the feed back is amazing.

Very Typical

Other then the fact that it has the Christian feel it is a pretty normal college, though the costs are pretty high, it is a great place if you are looking to obtain a Biblical degree from a secular accredited school.

Christian Enviroment

Being a Christian prior to beginning school I was able to grow spiritually and was allowed to introduce other students to worship with me at my church home at a nearby congregation. Our experience at our campus chapel also enhanced my spiritual growth.

The name officially changed to Michigan Christian College in 1961, and then Michigan Christian College formally changed its name to Rochester College in 1997.
