If you're already attending college but feel like it's time to make a "positive change" consider transferring to RMCAD. You won't be alone. About one third of our students started at another college or had already earned a degree before they found out about our supportive creative community, quality faculty and tiny class sizes.
"I never felt like a part of my previous school. But on the first day at RMCAD I could sense that this was "my school."
The teachers at RMCAD really want to know who you are and where you come from. Because the classes are small, each student is able to get to know each other, too."
H. Bridget O’Keefe, Interior Design class of 2009
"When I found myself immersed in an environment filled with other people with the same interests as me, I knew I was where I belonged.
It’s easy to approach other students and instructors at RMCAD. The friends I have made come from all walks of life."
Brian Twigg, Graphic Design class of 2009
