REIMAGINE the FUTURE 2019 – 2020 University Roadmap
HISTORY
It started with a need. In 1999, a shortage of Pharmacists in Nevada was occurring at the very same time that a groundswell of demand for pharmacy education was growing. So, three founders, each coming from healthcare, contributed $5,000 to start what is now Roseman University of Health Sciences. With this need came a desire to educate and train differently. To consider the varying learning styles young adults have. To develop content mastery and excellence. And so, the Roseman Six-Point Mastery Learning Model was born. And graduates went on to exceed standards. To get excellent jobs. To see a return on their investment. To become compassionate and skilled caregivers. Now, as we celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we look back on two decades of applying this foundation to a broad universe of healthcare education, developing innovative programs that train a diverse student body to be exceptional leaders in their chosen fields. This is the Roseman Story of Success.

WHAT MAKES ROSEMAN DIFFERENT? Roseman University’s founders approached learning in a different way. They recognized that every student has a different learning style and that adult learners may need to be engaged differently. They also believed that every student can succeed and compete at a very high level if given the right tools and training to do so. Breaking down barriers and increasing communication and partnership between student and teacher are at the core of success, proficiency and content mastery. Student-to-student collaboration develops healthcare professionals that work in teams so that the patient has the very best chance of a good outcome.
The core principles behind this difference are:
An educational system in which all students can realistically attain high levels of achievement. We do not place emphasis on grades, rather on achievement of curricular outcomes.
7
A system of assessment designed to “detect and correct” problems, thus ensuring achievement of high expectations by all students. We are committed to an assessment system that encourages and gauges progress toward the accomplishment of high academic standards by all students.
An educational experience that goes beyond memorization of facts. We believe in the concept of deep learning and mastery of content that leads to understanding and the ability to apply knowledge and make wise decisions.
An educational system that makes better use of time. We utilize the “block system” of curricular design, which provides students with the opportunity to study one content area intensely and master it without distractions from other subjects.
A curriculum that utilizes and is supported by technology. We believe that technology holds a remarkable potential to stimulate thinking and learning, as well as being an effective tool for acquiring, evaluating and utilizing new knowledge.
An educational experience that values and responds to the needs of students and encourages teamwork and communication. Our curriculum places a premium on active learning in a noncompetitive, collaborative environment.
A curricular design that stresses the importance of early exposure to the profession. We believe in building basic skills early by exposing students to early practice experiences.

what is the ROSEMAN UNIVERSITY SIX-POINT MASTERY LEARNING MODEL?

CLASSROOM AS TEACHER
BLOCK CURRICULUM
Classroom design and layout assures that every student is in close proximity to the instructor, to facilitate learning and encourage student participation.
Students focus on one academic subject at a time, and must demonstrate competency at 90% or higher to pass.
EARLY EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Early exposure to clinical experiences enhances and supports learning in the classroom by providing students the opportunity to see, feel and understand what is taught in the classroom in an actual healthcare setting.
ACTIVE & COLLABORATIVE LEARNING Roseman University strives to produce competent graduates in an educational environment that ensures high levels of achievement from all students and fosters cooperation and collaboration in the learning process. This is the concept of mastery learning.
Class time incorporates a variety of activities to encourage participation and foster student interest, including discussions, case presentations, simulations, debates, group projects, role-playing, seminars, workshops and more.
ASSESSMENT LEARNING
COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION
Learning, assessment, feedback and re-assessment are ongoing and continuous, allowing students to gauge their learning and detect areas of misunderstanding early.
Students are measured on criterion-referenced test achievement, not against the performance of others.
