If you want to surround yourself with students who demonstrate a special dedication to learning and a willingness to challenge themselves inside and outside the classroom, you’ll have no trouble finding those students at CMS. Some of the world’s most talented, ambitious, and hardworking students have chosen to pursue their education with us.

Some feel that choosing a major from a single academic program of study is limiting and does not reflect their range of talents and interests. Others want to pursue an education at their own pace. With CMS, you have the ability to help create your academic plan of study that not only fits your academic and career goals, but fits your life. Many of our programs can be completed online or through a combination of online and on-campus classes.

The Center for Multidisciplinary Studies is committed to meeting the current and future professional needs of its students, their employers, and the global community. It does this by developing and offering undergraduate and graduate-level degrees and academic programs with one-on-one advisement, flexibility in the method of delivery, wide accessibility, non-traditional approaches to earning credit, and customization while incorporating a multidisciplinary curriculum.
 

The Center for Multidisciplinary Studies is about you.  Your ideas, your interests, your goals. You and an advisor work closely together to design a degree that best meets your ideas, interests, and goals through careful consideration of all courses RIT has to offer. Our degree is committed to helping students be innovative and have a voice in their degree curriculum.  We look forward to hearing your ideas.

This website provides an overview of our programs and services and some stories from our students. These students were once like you, and we are proud of what they have achieved academically at CMS and in their careers. We invite you to consider the ways CMS can help you achieve your educational and career goals—and even transform your life.

It all started with a vision of a high quality, American-style university for Kosovo, an institution to promote economic and institutional development by educating the next generation of leaders. RIT’s global presence in Kosovo (A.U.K.) is the result of that vision. In March of 2002, community, government and business leaders began to explore the possibilities. Initial funding came from the Fund for the Reconstruction of Kosova, made up of the voluntary contributions of the Kosovar Diaspora living all over the world. In 2003, this group working in collaboration with RIT founded A.U.K. 

RIT’s degree programs in Kosovo attract students from more than 20 different countries. It offers students a great opportunity to interact in a multinational classroom and get better prepared for the globalized world we live in. The university strives to demonstrate its philosophy of tolerance and diversity, promoting these same values within the greater society.
