Admission to RIT is competitive, but there is no single type of student that defines us. Each year, students apply from diverse backgrounds and with a broad range of professional and personal interests.

Admission to RIT is competitive, but our admission process is a personal one. Each application is reviewed holistically for strength of academic preparation, performance on standardized tests, counselor recommendations, and your personal career interests. We seek applicants from a variety of geographical, social, cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds.

Our students are excited about their education, engaged in campus life, and driven to develop their professional potential.
