Tuesday tour day—Rochester Institute of Technology

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Once you make the decision to go back to college, let the search for a school begin! Have you decided to head to a campus or earn your degree online? That decision can help you narrow your choices.

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s Tour Day here at the Best Adult Education Blog. Today’s featured school is the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Here are some highlights:

* Check out RIT’s Center for Multidisciplinary Studies (CMS), which allows students to combine their varied interests into one degree program.

* RIT has been around since 1829!

* Rochester is New York state’s third-largest city.

* RIT’s classes operate on a quarter—not semester—basis. This means that classes are only 11 weeks long.

* The most recent 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.

* Interesting majors include medical illustration, urban studies/planning, American Sign Language, and game art & development.

Good luck in your research!
