Experience
Where learning becomes practice – you become a professional.
At RIT, we enable students to apply what they’re learning through lectures, labs, assignments, and projects to a variety of experiences outside the classroom. Students broaden their perspectives by refining their professional and intellectual competencies, cultivating their leadership abilities, advancing their career development, and further developing their talents.
Co-op
Cooperative education, or co-op, is full-time, paid work experience in a professional setting. Directly related to your field of study, co-op will help define your career path after graduation. More than 4,500 students complete over 6,200 co-op assignments each year and are employed by more than 3,400 employers throughout the U.S. and abroad.

REU
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) allows RIT students to conduct research assignments that their peers at other universities often don’t see until graduate school. Students have the opportunity to work directly with faculty members in their labs to investigate, explore, and discover hands-on skills that become the foundation of scientific research.
