Career Acceleration
After one year in the MFA Industrial Design program, I was able to land my dream internship that lead to further opportunities to learn and gain industry experience. Coming from a non-industrial design background, the support and leadership of my professors were truly one of the biggest factors that allowed me to accomplish my goal of pivoting direction into the field that I was interested in.

RIT’s alumni are a powerful force. Here, alumni hire alumni and employers actively seek out RIT grads because they know they graduate with the right combination of experience, skill, knowledge, and know-how.

Job Satisfaction
RIT prepared me 100% for my job as a Deputy Manager of Marketing by giving me the confidence to speak to a huge audience, strengthening my teamwork ability, and help me understand the nuances of Marketing. The MBA program has a very holistic curriculum that relies more on practicals (projects), research, and self-learning via group discussions than through lectures. I am satisfied and able to excel at my job because of all the learning I soaked in during my time at RIT.
