Rogue Community College has been a power force for quality of life in the region since 1970. Its mission--to assure success to each of its students--has nurtured hope for thousands of people, filled educational gaps, and empowered many throughout the region to change their lives.

Through teaching and service, the college has provided leadership and enriched the community by embracing equality and diversity. Further, the college has anticipated change and taken the necessary risks to assure access to all learners.

Originally constructed in the late 1960s as a Job Corps training center, the RCC Redwood Campus has undergone considerable remodeling and transformation. Located five miles west of Grants Pass on 84-wooded acres, the spacious campus has grown to encompass 215,000 square feet and includes many classrooms and modern laboratory space.
