What is RISD’s connection to Brown University?
RISD and Brown have adjacent campuses on College Hill and students at either institution may cross-register for classes at the other at no extra cost. RISD students typically turn to Brown for a broad array of foreign language and advanced science and math classes, all of which satisfy RISD’s liberal arts requirements. Students also have access to Brown’s extensive athletic facilities and can supplement activities available at RISD by attending concerts, lectures, theatrical performances and the like. In addition, the Brown-RISD Dual Degree Program enables highly motivated undergrads to earn a BFA from RISD and an AB from Brown in five years.
