Transfer Overview

Not every RMCAD student starts straight out of high school. In fact, about one-third of them come to RMCAD with some college experience. If you’re considering transferring, we want to make that transition a positive and smooth one.

It’s never too late to ensure your future is exactly what you want it to be. If art and design is your destiny, make sure you’re taking the right steps to get there – and consider applying to RMCAD as the first step.

"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
