From 2001 to 2009 it was named "Best Undergraduate Engineering College of the Year" by US News, making it a good alternative to colleges such as MIT, Virginia Tech or the California Institute of Technology for many students.

The foundation stone was laid on September 11, 1875. It was named Rose Polytechnic Institute after founder Chauncey Rose, an entrepreneur who immigrated from Scotland. In 1903 the college had over 200 students for whom no student dormitories existed. In 1922 work began on building a new campus on the grounds of the Hulman family. This included Deming Hall, the college's first student residence. The campus has expanded steadily over the years and the college was renamed the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in 1971.
