Graduate IN FOcus Program

A great way to learn about our 16 graduate programs is to visit RISD for our fall IN FOcus information session for prospective graduate applicants. At IN FOcus you’ll get an overview of graduate education at RISD and an up-close, inside view of your program of interest.

This year’s program is tentatively scheduled for Friday, November 15, 2013.

If you are interested in attending the 2013 IN FOcus session, please register in advance by submitting this form. You will receive further updates when event details are finalized.

Graduate Portfolio Days
Can't make it to the IN FOcus section? RISD also participates in a number of graduate portfolio days events sponsored by the National Portfolio Day Association. At these events prospective students have the opportunity to discuss their interests with representatives from art and design colleges and university art department.

The 2013-14 schedule is still being set and further details will be published here and at the NPDA site as they become available.


Other Options

The Admissions Office provides campus tours throughout the year. Although focused primarily on undergraduate students, graduate candidates are also welcome.

Graduate Studies does not provide unscheduled, individual tours. However, you may wish to contact a Graduate Program Director directly in your field of interest to arrange for a phone conversation or special appointment. Please keep in mind that such arrangements depend upon each director’s teaching schedule and availability.
