Courses
Study at Rhode Island School of Design.
A recent collaborative effort by the Dean's Office, the Committee on Academic Standing, the College Curriculum Council, and the Registrar's Office has produced a streamlined approval process for Brown students who wish to cross register at RISD. Immediate registration will be allowed for students who plan to study production/studio type courses at RISD. Students will be required to petition only when they intend to study for five or more courses, or when they wish to enroll in a RISD course that satisfies RISD's Liberal Art's degree requirements. CAS will continue its current review process when students request a studio coursebeyond the requisite four, or when students select a course designated as counting as a RISD Liberal Arts degree requirement. These policies and effected courses will be clearly posted for student review in the Registrar's Office.
Brown and RISD Announce Dual Degree Program
The Brown/RISD dual degree program is five years in length and offers students the opportunity to be awarded a Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) from Brown and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree from RISD. The dual degree program requires that students complete the existing degree requirements for both institutions by being actively enrolled in both institutions while earning two simultaneous degrees.
Currently, students from Brown or RISD can cross-register for classes, proving the viability and creative value of a dual degree program that draws extensively on the strengths of both institutions. In the fall of 2006, the exploration of formal cross-institutional programs and curricula was determined a priority by President Ruth Simmons of Brown and President Roger Mandle of RISD.
