Study Abroad Programs


The CS department has created multiple opportunities for students to continue their studies while experiencing the world from a different perspective. Although there are many study abroad options available to students at RIT, the Computer Science department programs are unique in that all participating students take computer science based coursework while abroad. We encourage you to explore both options that the department offers, and encourage all students to check out additional study abroad opportunities offered by RIT.
