Welcome to the Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences at RIT. We offer a rigorous, hands-on education that prepares our students for a broad range of career options. Graduates of our programs step directly into well paying jobs in industry, non-profit organizations and the government, or continue their education at some of the most selective graduate, professional and medical schools in the country. Whether your long term goal is to contribute to our deeper understanding of the natural world, to answer some of humanity's most vexing challenges, to heal the environment or to heal people, a comprehensive education in the life sciences will prepare you exceptionally well.

As a student here, you will work closely with our faculty and staff to create an education that works for you, for your time at RIT and beyond. Both in class and outside of class - conducting research in faculty labs, learning about career options in co-op experiences, contributing to community and environmental initiatives - you will discover what you want to do and who you want to be. Our students tell us that their time with us is challenging but exhilarating and employers tell us that our students are well prepared for today's rapidly changing work environment. We are proud of them and excited for you to join their ranks!
