Princeton Review Ranks RIT Among “Top 25 Most Connected Campuses”

Rochester Institute of Technology is being recognized nationally for its computing prowess. The Princeton Review ranks RIT 12th among its “Top 25 Most Connected Campuses” in the country. The second annual survey is available exclusively on Forbes.com.

Criteria for the “Most Connected Campuses” includes the ratio of school-owned computers accessible to students; the breadth of the computer science curriculum; and the sophistication of campus technology, including streaming media of classes and extracurricular offerings, availability of school-owned digital cameras and equipment for student use, wireless Internet access on campus, and support for handheld computing.

“Each year we find the bar raised higher and higher as students' consider a sophisticated computing environment central to their college experience,” says Robert Franek, editorial director at The Princeton Review. “These students also know that honing their tech skills in college can be crucial in their job searches and careers after college.”

RIT is home to the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences, the largest comprehensive computing college in the country. The college offers undergraduate and graduate programs in computer science and information technology and an undergraduate program in software engineering.
