PROVIDENCE – Rhode Island School of Design has one of the best graphic design bachelor’s degree programs in the country, according to College Choice.
College Choice, a website that helps students and their families choose colleges, ranked the top 50 programs, placing RISD 48th.

“The undergraduate program in graphic design at Rhode Island School of Design allows students to fully absorb an informed design process that provides lifelong support as they go on to engage in real-world design opportunities,” the website stated.
Yale University in New Haven, Conn., was No. 1.
College Choice based its list on academic ranking, student satisfaction, average financial aid package, tuition cost and average first-year salary, citing payscale.com.
“Societal demand for advertisement and web design is rapidly increasing. This demand is creating a significant need for graphic designers to the point where employment is expected to increase beyond the national average. Though a bachelor’s degree is not required to begin a career in graphic design, earning one from the right school can significantly increase your career prospects,” Katie Amondson, associate editor of the ranking for College Choice, said in a statement.
