The institution's strategic vision, known as the RISE plan (Reflect, Innovate, Serve, and Evolve), reflects this commitment. The RISE plan ensures that RMCAD's education remains relevant and industry-focused, preparing students for successful careers in art and design.
RMCAD's online education platform offers industry-relevant, project-based learning opportunities, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a high-quality, flexible education in the creative fields.
