About Rochester Institute of Technology

RIT is a nationally respected leader in professional and career-oriented education. Students of all cultures and backgrounds–and from 50 states and more than 95 countries–have chosen to attend RIT. Few universities provide RIT's depth and breadth of career-oriented studies.

Our nine colleges offer more than 90 different bachelor's degree programs in art and design, business, engineering, science and mathematics, criminal justice, photography, environmental studies, hospitality and service management, computer science, information technology, bioinformatics and many other areas. Plus, with a strong foundation in the humanities and social sciences, RIT students gain an understanding of both technological developments and the philosophy and ethical issues that go with them.

The hallmark of an RIT education is the cooperative-education program. RIT was one of the first universities in the world to begin cooperative education in 1912. Today, experiential education involves internships, study abroad and research, and is designed to enhance your academics with exciting opportunities and experiences.
