Rocky Vista University (RVU) was founded in 2006 in Parker, Colorado. RVU is a rapidly growing institution with two locations and two states. RVU has a special mission: to provide healthcare education while inspiring students to serve with compassion, integrity, and excellence.

RVU has empowered students who bring unique skills and experiences to contribute to our community of learning. Through rigorous academic programs, and with the help of esteemed faculty, our students learn to ask the right questions, listen for answers, and solve problems using their hands and their minds.

RVU is proud to be a member of the Medforth family of schools. RVU has been owned by Medforth Global Healthcare Education Group since February 2019 and, since July 2020, Medforth’s affiliate, University Support Services has been contracted to provide certain non-academic administrative services to RVU.
