Career-focused. Specialized. Technologically-based. Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is a respected, internationally renowned private, coeducational university enrolling more than 16,500 students. More than 65 of the University’s 200 undergraduate programs can be taken on a part-time basis.
A degree from RIT comes with certain perks. Greater earning potential in growing fields, the support and experience of accomplished professionals with real-world connections, and a world-class reputation that earns immediate respect from employers around the world. Our full-time job is making it easier for part-time students.
As a part-time student, you’ll have access to the same resources as full-time students have: advisors to guide you on program and course selection; a large career services department that offers career and job search advice and resources including regular career fairs that draw hundreds of employers to campus; plentiful free parking, and our state-of-the-art facilities including our Student Life & Wellness Center that offers exercise and recreation facilities unmatched in upstate New York.
RIT offers programs from our main campus in Rochester and around the world through the convenience of online learning. Traditional classroom courses are offered to meet your working schedule: evenings, Saturdays, and days.
Our convenient quarter calendar means our classes last only 11 weeks, offering the opportunity to take classes four times each year — beginning in September, December, March and June.
A Summer 2009 PayScale College Salary Report states that the median starting salary for a recent RIT graduate is $51,000, while the mid-career median salary is $82,000. Both figures are the highest among Rochester-area institutions included in this survey.
