Art is often a hands-on practice, but at Rocky Mountain College, we strive to take it to another level… One graduate recalls "making a Lewis and Clark-style dug-out cottonwood canoe sculpture, a 4 1/2 foot Braveheart-style sword in metalworking and jewelry, and working on a Monet replica in a painting class.” Some classes venture into the field, including trips to nearby Yellowstone National Park and the Beartooth Mountains. Others use classical drawing and painting techniques while with models to gain a better understanding of human anatomy and the figure. Still others considering data visualization and digital design using cutting edge Adobe software.

The Environmental Program at RMC offers majors in Environmental Science (ESC), Environmental Management and Policy (EMP), and Environmental Studies (EST). Our courses emphasize interdisciplinary studies in the field and laboratory with a broad range of hands-on experiences. Many of our programs include field trips to Yellowstone National Park and the Bighorn and Beartooth Mountain Ranges. Students and faculty also conduct ongoing research projects at sites on the Yellowstone River, which is the longest free-flowing river in the U.S.

The Department of History and Political Science offers one of the most flexible and dynamic degrees at Rocky Mountain College. A minimal number of required courses allows students to take electives in a myriad of constituent fields, with ample opportunity to double major and/or minor in another discipline of interest. Students are encouraged to intern in career-related fields and to study overseas or in Washington, D.C.

Rocky Mountain College's English program is at the heart of the College's liberal arts mission, serving students with widely divergent interests, but united by a fascination with literature, ideas, language, and writing. The English major offers concentrations in literary studies, which focuses on the traditional American and British literature curriculum; English education, which prepares students for careers in teaching English at the secondary level; and creative writing, through which students can follow their own creative genius while developing their writing skills. We also offer minors in writing, literary studies, and English education.

What is the meaning of life? How should we think about ethics, or even reality itself? Philosophy and religion tackle these and other fundamental questions in related and sometimes different ways. Both disciplines lie at the core of the humanities, and thus a liberal arts education. Philosophy, for example, often examines unstated assumptions underlying cultural practices and scholarly disciplines, from politics to physics. Religion, for its part, can be studied from a number of different angles, from sociology to psychology.

What better way to recognize the quality of a program that the strength of its graduates? You might recognize a few of our successful graduates like Jason Earles, co-star of Hannah Montana or Bill Bowers, who played Zazu in Broadway's The Lion King. The talent is in you, and the difference is in the school. At Rocky Mountain College we are committed to helping you reach your potential by providing devoted and highly experienced faculty who can give you unmatched personal attention and training.
