HISTORY
Robert Morris University bears the name of an outstanding American of the Revolutionary War who has been called the “Financier of the Revolution.” Robert Morris helped the movement for freedom by securing the financial assistance — including his own personal resources — for the patriots during the Colonial struggle.

Today, Robert Morris University embodies the spirit of independence and personal resourcefulness that American patriot Robert Morris symbolized more than 220 years ago.

As one of the largest private not-for-profit colleges in Illinois, Robert Morris University and its predecessor institutions have been providing quality education for over 90 years. Our history began with the founding of the Moser School - an independent business school – in Chicago in 1913. Robert Morris University also has origins in Illinois at the site of the former Carthage College, where it offered associate degrees in both liberal and vocational arts from 1965 to 1974. With the acquisition of the Moser School in 1975, RMC expanded its broad base to include business and allied health programs.

In 1986, the North Central Association of College and Schools accredited Robert Morris University, and the University began offering a full collegiate program of associate and bachelor degrees.

In July 1988, Robert Morris University opened its first branch campus in Springfield, Illinois. Since then, we’ve continued to grow, adding five new campuses across Illinois. Our seventh campus opened in Lake County during fall 2003.
