Saunders College of Business at RIT earned top statewide and national recognition in College Factual’s 2026 rankings, driven by world-class faculty leading the future of technology, data, and AI.

Two RIT faculty members are building a comprehensive workforce development program in manufacturing for veterans and under-employed individuals to provide the needed skills-based training in electronics assembly.

Designed by LaBella Associates, this $25 million expansion almost doubles the size of RIT’s business college, adding more than 35,000 square feet of renovated classrooms, applied research and case analysis labs, a state-of-the-art auditorium and café, and more.

Each of the recipients will receive scholarships over the course of four years. The award was established in 2006 by E. Philip Saunders to provide four-year scholarships annually to graduates of designated Livingston County high schools who are enrolled in Saunders College of Business. Since then, he has donated more than $25 million to RIT.
