Students come to RIT to prepare for the future, and academics are the cornerstone of that experience. Few universities provide RIT's variety of career-oriented studies. 

We are dedicated to providing you with academic programs that not only offer you a solid education, but superior career preparation.

RIT Majors and Minors 

Admission to RIT is competitive, but our admissions process is a personal one.

We want to learn about your interests, abilities, and goals in order to provide guidance as you select a college that is right for you.

RIT awards over $5 million in merit-based and need-based scholarships to new and continuing transfer students each year. Since financial aid is based on the difference between college costs and family resources, most students will qualify for larger awards at a private institution than at a public one. Larger awards are required to help students meet the higher tuition costs charged by private colleges.
