Its founders selected the name of Saint Rose tohonor the first woman saint in the Americas. The primary academic purpose of the collegewas the full development of the person through a strong liberal arts curriculum. Initially,emphasis was placed on the professional training of teachers and this emphasis was expandedin the early years to preparation for business and other professions.As needs in the Albany area increased, the College expanded and revised its programs tomeet those needs. An evening division was developed in 1946 to meet the needs of WorldWar II veterans and was re-instituted in 1974 to respond to the need for masters' degreeprograms. Men were admitted to both the original and graduate division and, in 1969, theCollege became fully coeducational.In 1970, the board of trustees was expanded to include lay persons in addition to the Sistersof Saint Joseph. With the formal transfer of control to its board, The College of Saint Rosebecame an independent college sponsored by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet.College MissionThe College of Saint Rose community engages highly motivated undergraduate and graduatestudents in rigorous educational experiences.

The College promotes the ongoing development of the total person in its commitment to theeducational process outside, as well as inside, the classroom.The Spirit of Saint RoseA college is many things. Primarily, it is an educational institution, a place of higher learning,of preparation for a career and for life itself. A college has classrooms, labs, and lecture halls,but these alone do not make it what it is. After the first perplexing period of adjustment, newstudents realize that college is more than the courses in a catalogue. Enlightenment bringsawareness that it is much more than attaining a degree. Through experiences students cometo see that it is the spirit that makes it what it is - something that cannot be confined merely tothe academic characteristics of the school.Students, with your eager minds and wide hearts, you too can bring something to this spirit the refreshing eyes of youth, your trust, your faith, and your hope.Derived from Barbara Gallagher Malone ‘58Reprised by Amanda Clairmont G‘97College SealThe seal of The College of Saint Rose is designed so that it bears the colors of the UnitedStates of America.Circular in form, the outer rim contains the name and location of the College. A silver shieldcovers the inner surface. Upon this surface, the red roses are the heraldic symbol of SaintRose; thirteen in number they are commemorative of the thirteen original colonies.Flanking the shield on either side is the motto of the College: “In Tuo lumine videbimus lumen.”(In Thy light we shall see light.)College ColorsThe College colors are gold and white.MascotTo emphasize and enforce our colors and their meanings, the Saint Rose mascot was officiallyput to use in the 1970's. “THE SAINTS” derived from Saint Rose, carried our school from1973-1981, marking the beginning of intercollegiate sports. The construction of the ActivitiesCenter in 1978 combined with the addition of intercollegiate baseball, volleyball and softballteams, sparked an interest to find a new identity, and the search began for a new mascot. Acampus wide ballot was conducted and in 1981 the ‘GOLDEN KNIGHTS’ were born. Today,our fighting Golden Knights proudly wear our school colors of gold and white, along with blackas a complementary color.9

ACADEMIC LIFEAcademic InformationAdditional information on academic policies and regulations may be found in theundergraduate and graduate catalogues.Academic Advising518-454-5217advisement@strose.eduThe Office of Academic Advising is a central source of academic information at The Collegeof Saint Rose. Here, students receive advice on choosing a major, minor, or concentration,as well as information on College policies and procedures in general. Students wishing tochange their advisors should also contact the Office of Academic Advising. (Please note: thefollowing majors have their own, separate advising office: Childhood Education,Communication Sciences and Disorders, Early Childhood Education, and Special Education.Students majoring in one of these four fields should turn to The Field Placement andAdvising Office.)Academic AdvisorsIn their first year at the College of Saint Rose, all incoming students have two advisors—anAcademic Advisor (in the Office of Academic Advising or the Field Placement and AdvisingOffice), and a Faculty Advisor (in their major). Academic Advisors help students transition tothe College, making sure they know how to access campus resources, read degreerequirements, prepare for course registration, and, in general, get connected to campus.Though Faculty Advisors provide assistance in many of these same areas, their primary focustends to be on course-selection in, and questions about, their advisees’ major. In addition,Faculty Advisors act as important resources as students prepare for internships, graduateschool, research opportunities, and/or their first professional position.Early in the Fall and Spring Semesters of their first year, new students meet with theirAcademic Advisors (for “Pre-Advisement”), and, then—some weeks later—with their FacultyAdvisors (for “Advisement Day”). “Pre-Advisement” serves as an important “check-in” moment(“How are you transitioning? Is there anything you need?”), and helps students prepare tomake the most of their first meeting with their Faculty Advisor. “Advisement Day” is set asidefor students and Faculty Advisors to meet and prepare a schedule for the nextsemester. Please note that, while it is the advisors’ responsibility to guide and counsel, it isthe student’s responsibility to make knowledgeable, final decisions. Ultimately, the student isresponsible for her/his education.The College of Saint Rose is strongly committed to the intellectual, emotional, social, andspiritual development of our students. Students are encouraged to stay in regular contact withtheir advisors (Academic and Faculty) for academic support, and to resolve issues in a timelyfashion.
