Rocky Mountain College (informal: Rocky or RMC), located in Billings, Montana, is a private comprehensive college offering more than 25 liberal arts- and professionally-oriented majors. In fall 2006, the college had 898 enrolled students.

Founded in 1878, eleven years prior to Montana's statehood, it is the state's oldest and first institution of higher learning and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the United Church of Christ.

At one point in its history, Rocky Mountain College was actually located in western Montana in the town of Deer Lodge, a tidbit that many Montanans aren't aware of.

Rocky is ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 10 colleges in quality and a "best value" among comprehensive colleges in the Western United States. Rocky also maintains a 99% placement rate for students pursing graduate school educations.

Mr. Michael R. Mace, Rocky's president, announced in October 2006 that there had been a 20.8% increase in the college's assets over the total from the same time during the previous year. Mace began his presidency in October 2005 and in his first year saw the largest amount of undesignated funds raised in the history of the institution.

Some of Rocky's less traditional academic offerings include aviation programs, equestrian programs, and physician assistant programs.

Rocky Mountain College competes in the NAIA's Frontier Conference. Its athletic teams are known as the "Battlin' Bears" (usually referred to as "Bears"). In 2005, RMC won the National Collegiate Skiing Championship.
