Innovative and specialized curriculum Few universities provide RIT’s variety of career-oriented studies. Our eight colleges offer more than 90 bachelor’s degree programs in art and design, business, engineering, science and mathematics, criminal justice, photography, environmental studies, hospitality and service management, computer  science, information technology, bioinformatics, and many others.While it is a major technological university, RIT offers academic opportunities that extend far beyond science and technology, including more liberal arts courses and faculty than you will find at most liberal arts colleges. With a strong foundation in the humanities and social sciences, you’ll gain an understanding of both technological developments and the philosophical and ethical issues that go with them. Experience counts The hallmark of an RIT education for more than 90 years has been experiential learning. RIT was among the first universities in the world to begin cooperative education back in 1912. Last year more than 3,500 co-op students alternated periods of study on campus with paid employment in more than 1,900 firms across the United States and overseas. Today, experiential learning also includes internships, study abroad, and undergraduate research. Global community Throughout your life, you’ll interact with people from different cultures and from every continent. Your success will depend on your experience with and understanding of cross-cultural issues, here and abroad. At RIT you’ll live and study with over 1,400 international students from 95 countries. In addition, more than 2,000 students of color have selected RIT, embodying our commitment to diversity. Adding a social and educational dynamic not found at any other university are more than 1,100 deaf and hard-of-hearing students supported by RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf. The variety of backgrounds and perspectives represented in the RIT community enriches the learning experience for all. As you interact on team-based projects, in residences halls, and in day-to-day activities, we believe you will be enriched and better prepared for the opportunities and challenges of global interdependence. |
