Everest Institute in Rochester

Everest Institute, based in Rochester, N.Y., was founded in 1863 under the name of Rochester Commercial College. In 1896, it was changed to Rochester Business Institute. The campus is rich with history, and provides excellent career training and life skills needed to help students excel in their chosen fields.

Everest Institute's Rochester campus has always been a trendsetting institution. According to the school's historical records:

It was one of the first schools to form a clear philosophy of business education.
Its two previous owners wrote the first textbooks on teaching business subjects.
The Institute wrote and published its own textbooks during the college textbook shortages in the late 1800s.
Co-educational learning was introduced when women were allowed admission in 1883.
Rochester was the first school in the nation to offer a program for training new business teachers that drew students from all over the world.
It was the only business school in the country selected to teach civilian pilot training during World War II.
It was approved by the Regents of the University of the State of New York to offer associate degrees in 1973. In 1996, Rhodes Business Group, Inc., purchased the campus, and by 2006, it was renamed as Everest Institute.

The Institute boasts faculty members and a management team with many years of educational experience and the campus has two fully equipped and handicapped accessible campus buildings located in Irondequoit, N.Y. Additionally, it provides spacious classrooms, lab rooms, a student lounge and administrative areas.
