The variety of backgrounds and perspectives represented in the RIT community enriches the living and learning experience for all.
ExperienceSince 1912, the hallmark of an RIT education has been experiential learning. RIT was among the first universities in the world to offer cooperative education. Last year, more than 3,500 co-op students alternated periods of study on campus with paid employ-
ment in nearly 2,000 firms across the United States and overseas. Graduate students gain experience through internships, study abroad, research and projects with business and industry.
