Welcome to one of the most comprehensive computing colleges in the nation, the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at RIT. From life-saving software applications to interactive educational games and breakthrough research, every day Golisano College of Computing faculty and students are improving lives and changing the the world in exciting new ways. Our faculty members are internationally recognized leaders in their fields and expose their students to hands-on, multidisciplinary educational instruction. 

Whether on-campus or across the world, students are actively working on projects that have helped impact humanitarian aid and emergency response, national security, health care innovation, and competitive gaming and entertainment, just to name a few. We offer an Exploration program for students who are still finding the computing field they are most passionate about, and we are proud to be home to an inclusive community where everyone at the college works to help each other succeed. I thank you for taking the time to learn more about our work and encourage you to consider studying, researching, collaborating with, or contributing to the Golisano College of Computing.
