Located in Rochester Hills, Michigan, approximately 30 miles north of Detroit, Rochester University (formerly Rochester College) operates as a private Christian institution affiliated with the Churches of Christ. The 85-acre suburban campus sits along the Clinton River, featuring a mix of modern academic buildings and residential facilities. Established in 1959 as Michigan Christian College, the institution offers bachelor's degrees across multiple disciplines, with notable programs in business, education, and religious studies. The university maintains a selective admissions process and requires students to complete Bible-based coursework as part of the core curriculum. Traditional undergraduate students are required to live in campus housing during their first two years, and the institution competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as the Rochester Warriors.
