Deaf and hard-of-hearing students at RIT graduate at more than twice the rate of deaf and hard-of-hearing students at other colleges in the United States. And a full 92 percent of students who seek employment after graduation find jobs.
It's a known fact that a college degree can be the key to future success. At RIT, administrators, faculty and staff partner with you and your son or daughter to help your student get that degree and prepare for life in the real world.
Few universities provide RIT's variety of career-oriented studies. Our eight colleges offer over 200 outstanding programs in business, engineering, art and design, science and mathematics, liberal arts, photography, computing, hospitality management, and many other areas.
As part of preparing students for the world of work, most RIT majors require a cooperative work experience. During the co-ops, students spend 10 weeks or more working with a business or corporation in a job related to their field of study. RIT's cooperative education program is the fourth oldest and one of the largest in the world. We place more than 2,600 students in co-op work positions with approximately 1,300 employers every year, and more than 500 companies visit RIT to conduct employment interviews on campus.
