College campuses in rural communities are often thought to be safer than urban campuses, but unfortunately, anecdotal evidence suggests that sexual coercion and intimate partner violence also occur at rural colleges. This paper reports on a research study investigating the experiences of students at three rural college campuses – two of which are faith-based – in the US Midwest. Overall, the prevalence of sexual coercion and violence was comparable to rates reported in previous studies of urban colleges and universities. Gender of the victim was the most significant variable associated with experiencing sexual coercion or violence. Religious affiliation of the college had no significant relationship to experiences of sexual victimization, and made only small differences in acceptance of rape myths.
