Rosemont College is a private Catholic university in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, United States, located on the Philadelphia Main Line. Founded in 1921 as a women's college by the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus, the undergraduate program opened to male students beginning in fall 2009. The university is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). Rosemont also offers a range of master's degrees through its school of graduate studies and school of professional studies. In March 2025, leadership of Rosemont College and Villanova University announced that Rosemont would merge into Villanova, serving as a secondary campus.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 43% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before enrolling. On the positive side, the net price of around $20,000/year is reasonable for a private college, and the small campus near Philadelphia offers a tight-knit Catholic liberal arts community for students who thrive in that setting. Worth considering if you're confident in your fit and have a clear plan, but ask hard questions about support services and why so many students leave before graduating.
