Program overview
Some of our accepted students have interests that span two or more of our colleges. To help these students choose the academic program that best meets their career interests and goals, RIT offers the University Studies program. The university’s broadest and most flexible option, the program allows students up to a year to explore more than 90 bachelor’s degree programs while completing courses in general education, math, and science. University Studies students work individually with experienced advisers who make suggestions on course work and programs of study. Through advising and individual interaction with faculty and department chairs, students narrow their focus on a degree program that matches their career interests and goals.
