articulation agreements with Fulton-Montgomery Community College.


Project Lead the Way Engineering Strand

Get a head start on your college career and add prestige to your admissions applications by receiving college credits from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).  These are transcripted credits and are eligible to be transferred to other universities. One of the most important benefits of having RIT credit is that, during the college application process, admissions officers look favorably on a student who has already completed college-level courses.
