Frequently asked questions about special programs

Brown|RISD Dual Degree (BRDD) Program

What is the Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program?

Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) offer a five-year Dual Degree Program for students who wish to combine study in the liberal arts with concentrated work in the fine arts. Dual Degree candidates complete approximately half of their course work at each institution and graduate with the A.B. or Sc.B degree from Brown and the B.F.A. degree from RISD.

To be considered for this program, you must apply to Brown and to RISD independently and submit the Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program supplement to each institution. Only students who have been admitted to both Brown and RISD will be considered for the Dual Degree Program. Not all combinations of majors at RISD and concentrations at Brown may be possible because of the rigorous demands of the Dual Degree Program. Brown’s Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME) and RISD's Architecture major are not permitted within the Dual Degree Program.
