Teaching comes first

This is a place where faculty enjoy interacting with students —not only in class or during office hours but in the dining halls, in the coffee shop at the library, or at the Student Life Center. It’s a friendly but challenging environment, and our faculty’s approacundergraduate_class_size.gifh to teaching makes it so.

If the image you have of a major university includes auditorium-sized classes, think again. Our student/faculty ratio is 14:1, and our average class size is 25 students (see RIT fast facts for more). This helps to ensure you get the personal attention RIT is committed to providing. Experienced faculty members teach in every program, and we don’t rely on graduate student teaching assistants. At RIT, you’ll be taught by exceptional and accessible people who are interested in you.

Experience and expertise
Our faculty have extensive experience in the classroom and their professional fields, and some have backgrounds in other cultures. Their real-life experiences give them a perspective on teaching that is grounded in reality, and their involvement in applied research and consulting means that their teaching is well informed and up to date. They’ll talk with you not only about academic subjects but also about career choices and related issues. Our professors think about your future almost as much as you do, and they are committed to your success.
