RIT's mission is the education of men and women for work and life in a democ- ratic, technological and global society. It is integral to the Institute's mission to be a dynamic center of higher education— one in which technology, the arts and sci- ences and other dimensions of human knowledge and civilization are valued, cultivated and applied. Throughout its history, the Institute has been at the forefront of career educa- tion in preparing students for technologi- cal and professional careers. RIT struc- tures itself as an educational resource for all who seek to be competent and enthu- siastic lifelong learners, whether they are young adults or professionals seeking to upgrade their skills by returning for an advanced degree. Our goal is that all grad- Access to practical technology draws graduate students to RIT. uates will understand the ethical, techno- logical, humanitarian and aesthetic chal- Under regulations established by the lenges of a diverse workplace and an History of Graduate Institute, sponsored research, programs international community.
