Each year, RIT admits approximately 175 new students into the Honors Program. These outstanding students represent the top 5% of RIT's accepted applicants in each participating college, or just over 1% of all students applying for freshman admission to RIT.
Honors students have access to special courses, seminars, projects and advising. They also participate in an honors general education curriculum that brings together honors students from colleges across the university. Students draw from a substantial menu of extracurricular opportunities to fashion individual plans for learning outside the classroom.
