History

With the purpose of becoming a boys’ preparatory school run by Lutheran pastors, Roanoke College was founded in 1842 in Augusta County with the name of the Virginia Institute. In 1945, the name was changed to Virginia Collegiate Institute, and in 1947 the school was moved to Salem. In 1853 the name was finally changed to the current Roanoke College. During the Civil War, Roanoke College was one of the few institutions that remained open, and the students fought with Confederate forces near Salem in 1863. Roanoke College had its first international student in 1876 and the first Korean to graduate in an American school graduated in Roanoke College in 1898.

In 1930, Roanoke became a mixed-sex education institute and some women enrolled in the school. Since then, the number of women enrolled has grown abundantly.Show more

    excellent college experience

    RC is located in the small town of Salem located outside of Roanoke VA. Setting it the beautiful Appalachian mountains. The area is full of hiking, biking, and outdoor activities. Roanoke is a small 2,000 student undergrad liberal arts college. The classes are small, intimate, and engaging. I left feeling like i received an excellent quality education, meet great friends, and learned from many experiences.
