For over 70 years, RIT’s Furni­ture Design program has engaged students in tech­ni­cal, concep­tual, and design devel­op­ment, while foster­ing indi­vid­ual creative inter­ests. With a foun­da­tion in tradi­tional wood­work­ing tech­nique and mastery, the studio-inten­sive curricu­lum also provides access to the latest tech­nolo­gies and supports inno­v­a­tive object making in all its forms.

With a fully equipped wood­work­ing studio, indi­vid­ual bench space for each major, a state of the art FAB Lab, students can explore many design resources, and a wide range of studio facil­i­ties for further material exploration.

RIT offers a MFA degree in Furni­ture Design, as well as a Furni­ture Design BFA in Studio Arts, and a two year Asso­ci­ate’s Degree (AOS).
