Your tuition is determined by the number of courses you enroll in. If you choose to complete the certificate, the total program cost is $5,520. Tuition amounts are listed on the course registration system; a breakdown is included below.

Essential Fundamentals

Concentration

Students must first complete at least one Essential Fundamentals course before enrolling in a Concentration.

For each course you will need a variety of art supplies and materials. You can expect to spend up to $200 (estimate) on supplies per course in addition to tuition. A supply list will be available on the course site in Canvas 30 days prior to the first day of class.

​​To mitigate costs, students are encouraged to use supplies they already have on hand and are similar to the requested item in the supply list. If you are uncertain if an item will suffice, ask your instructor at the start of the first class through the Canvas inbox. You can also email risdce@risd.edu before classes start. Unless otherwise indicated on the supply list, have all supplies purchased and available to you for the first class.
