The Admissions Office ensures RISD’s enrollment goals by bringing in new degree-program students. We work with first-year, transfer, visiting, post-baccalaureate and graduate students. Our office achieves these goals through recruitment and outreach, application review by faculty and staff, and engagement with admitted students.
If you are or if you know a student who is interested in attending RISD, please connect them with our office. We are happy to work with them in discovering all our degree programs have to offer.
We regularly offer campus tours and information programs to prospective students and families, and also accommodate campus tours for new employees. Please email admissions@risd.edu to schedule a tour for a newly-hired employee.
