Associate+Bachelor’s Degree Programs

Overview

When you choose an RIT Associate+Bachelor’s Degree Program, you start on the road to academic success by earning an associate degree through RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf, which prepares you to enroll in a bachelor’s degree program in one of the other eight colleges of RIT.

What makes students in these programs so successful in college and their careers?

Access to high-caliber RIT academic programs
Unparalleled academic support
Academic success: Deaf and hard-of-hearing students at RIT graduate at rates above the national averages for students in community colleges and other private four-year colleges.
The best value:
- RIT receives special federal support for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, so you pay less than one-half of RIT’s regular tuition.
- When you select an RIT Associate+Bachelor’s Degree Program, you're also eligible for a scholarship for up to five years (find out more about this scholarship).
