In response to growing demand, Rochester Institute of Technology has recently added two new programs to support a timely and smooth transition between associate- and baccalaureate-level education for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
These programs – Engineering Technology and Laboratory Science Technology – are open to some of RIT’s 1,100 deaf and hard-of-hearing students who are supported by the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
Students in these programs are eligible for a scholarship of up to $3,500 a year for up to five years by achieving certain academic benchmarks. For the Engineering Technology program, students must enter with a minimum ACT score of 16 and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8. For the Laboratory Science Technology program, students must enter with a minimum ACT score of 18 and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.
“These programs serve as a bridge that supports ambitious students who are ready to pursue the challenging associate-to-baccalaureate road,” said Dr. T. Alan Hurwitz, vice president for RIT and CEO/Dean of NTID. More program information is available online at RIT - NTID - Industrial Science and Technologies - Computer Integrated Machining Technology (Engineering Technology) and Lab Science Technology Department | National Technical Institute for the Deaf | RIT (Laboratory Science Technology).
