About RIT

Founded in 1829, Rochester Institute of Technology is one of the world’s leading career-oriented, technological institutions. Ambitious, creative and diverse students from every state and more than 100 countries find a home in RIT’s innovative, vibrant living/learning community. The university’s eight colleges offer undergraduate and graduate programs in areas such as engineering, computing, information technology, engineering technology, business, hospitality, science, art, design, photography, biomedical sciences, game design and development, and the liberal arts.

As home to the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, RIT is a leader in providing educational opportunities and access services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Experiential learning has been a hallmark of an RIT education since 1912. Every academic program at RIT offers some form of experiential-education opportunity, which may include cooperative education, internships, study abroad and undergraduate research.

RIT’s campus occupies 1,300 acres in suburban Rochester, the third-largest city in New York. The campus consists of 245 buildings (5.4 million square feet). RIT has international campuses in Croatia, Dubai and Kosovo.
