Wells College Transfer Information

This is a difficult time of transition as a Wells College student, but know that RIT is here to support you as you choose where to finish your studies.

We provide an education where you don't just innovate, research, and refine — you also gain unmatched career preparation that propels your career forward after graduation.

RIT Majors to Transfer Into

No one does future-focused majors like RIT. At RIT, all majors are encouraged to complete a co-op (paid, full-time, relevant experience in your field of study) and for most, the co-op is built into the program.

There is still time to apply for Fall 2024 admission. The following majors have space available and may align well with your current program at Wells College.

Transfer Scholarships

"We offer generous merit-based scholarships"

Every transfer student who applies to RIT is considered for merit-based scholarships, regardless of financial need. Transfer merit scholarships range from $10,000 - $20,000* annually.

Plus, you could qualify for additional scholarships and financial aid.

Here, students can be uniquely themselves, and flourish. RIT is a place where individuality, creativity, and innovation are always celebrated.

*Merit scholarships are determined at the time of admission. RIT scholarships are offered during semesters of full-time coursework. Students who meet the eligibility requirements for multiple RIT merit-based scholarships will be offered the highest-valued scholarship unless the indicated scholarships can be combined. Deaf and hard-of-hearing students accepted to RIT and supported by the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), and students accepted directly to NTID, fall outside of these guidelines and are considered for NTID’s merit-based scholarships.
