A history BS that will prepare you not only to become a historian, but also to succeed in fields as diverse as business, education, government, journalism, law, and public service. The past will always shape the future as our understanding of who we are and what we value continues to evolve. The ability to reflect on history, examine the human condition, and critically analyze the past as a guide to the present and future is part of what it means to be human and to live in human communities. A history degree not only encourages you to develop a lifelong passion for critical thinking, but also leads you to become a better local and global citizen, an effective communicator, an active participant in civil discourse, and an informed creator and consumer of media and technology. RIT’s history BS will equip you to understand the past and the means by which it shapes the present.

Students undertaking a bachelor’s degree at RIT have the option of completing a minor, which can complement their major, helping them develop another area of professional expertise, or enable them to pursue an area of personal interest.
As part of their bachelor's degree requirements, students must complete an immersion – a concentration of three courses in a particular area.
• Strong performance in a college preparatory program is expected. Generally, this includes 4 years of English, 3-4 years of mathematics, 2-3 years of science, and 3 years of social studies and/or history. Specific math and science requirements can be referenced at this web page
• Academic documents (transcripts, mark sheets, degree certificates)
• Application fee of $65
• SAT or ACT scores are optional
• Portfolios are required for applicants to the Schools of Art, Design or American Crafts
• International applicants require a TOEFL or IELTS score unless qualified for a waiver through prior English instruction or US residency
International and domestic students pay the same tuition and fees. Undergraduate tuition and fees are currently set at $67,304 for the academic year.
There are a number of scholarships available at RIT for students.
In addition to the standard application deadline, Early Decision plans allow applicants to hear about admission and financial aid decisions much earlier than other applicants, offering an opportunity for earlier planning in the transition to RIT. The following are application plans and deadlines:
Early Decision I Early Decision II Regular Decision
Application Deadline November 1st January 1st January 15th
Prospective RIT graduate students must hold (or be in anticipation of):
•A baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) from an accredited university or college

While some graduate programs have set application deadlines, most accept applications are accepted on a rolling basis meaning you can apply at any time.
Most graduate programs award scholarships based on merit, and many also award assistantships. All international students are considered for merit-based scholarships and assistantships (if offered). Scholarship decisions are made on a first-come, first-served basis, so for rolling deadlines the earlier you apply the better your chances for a scholarship.
