Rosedale Bible College

Belief in God and understanding what it means to follow the way of Jesus were enigmatic concepts for Tre, a young man growing up in eastern Kentucky. He enrolled at Rosedale Bible College seeking clarity, direction, and answers to some of life’s biggest questions.

The next two years of his life in Rosedale were nothing short of transformative. Nurtured by his studies integrated into life in the campus community, Tre says he’s delighted to have received a solid foundation and direction for next steps in life.

Developing a deep faith in Jesus is at the heart of Rosedale Bible College’s mission because they believe this faith equips students for lives filled with peace and purpose. The college provides a hospitable space in which students can wrestle with complex questions while receiving training and direction for life in a wide variety of professions.

Woven into the fabric of Rosedale’s community-oriented, holistic education is its much-regarded student-faculty connection. The college helps students develop a holistic faith by integrating a lifestyle on campus that includes practical service and meaningful interactions with experienced faculty who exemplify their teaching.

As part of their studies, students participate in cross-cultural learning and serve their communities in ways such as tutoring inner-city children, befriending international students, or assisting with disaster relief.

“Learning here extends beyond the confines of the classroom,” said President Jeremy Miller. “Many faculty and staff live near or on campus with students engaging in study sessions or discussion groups in faculty homes. We like spending quality time together, enjoying shared lunches and school day trips to state parks.”

The enriching campus community helps prepare people for a meaningful life in a wide variety of occupations. The institution offers a two-year associate degree in biblical studies which also includes general education requirements such as composition, math, business, and the humanities. This dual-focus provides a well-rounded foundation, shaping students' worldview and understanding of their place in the world while preparing them to move to other colleges for further studies.

Rosedale has established strong partnerships with multiple four-year institutions that allow students the experience of its program while seamlessly shifting to another school to complete bachelor’s degrees in just two additional years.

Having built strong connections with top professionals in the marketplace, RBC also assists students with finding good jobs without further formal education.

Rosedale Bible College is a place where students can lay foundational groundwork academically, personally, and spiritually. The institution’s success in shaping students' lives can be traced through its student satisfaction rate. According to Ruffalo Noel Levitz’s national survey data of 2023, 96 percent of RBC students reported being happy and satisfied with their college experience. The average student satisfaction rate at other private colleges is 59 percent.

Today, Rosedale Bible College is leading the academic space by successfully balancing academic pursuit, spiritual growth, and personal development in the lives of its students. It strives to become a leading destination for people of faith who want to live a peaceful and purposeful life in the world.
