ROCHESTER, NEW YORK—  After more than 100 years of operation and a legacy of 4,000 graduates, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has officially deactivated its Print and Graphic Media Technology bachelor’s and master’s programs. The decision follows a sustained period of declining enrollment that finally led the university to pull the plug on the historic department. The decline wasn’t sudden. The closure was expected given the changing landscape of high school education. Many students now view printing through a vocational lens rather than a professional degree path. Furthermore, the high cost of equipment and a public perception that “print” begins and ends with dying newspapers have steered prospective students elsewhere.  Today, however, students interested in digital imaging and software like Adobe Creative Suite often opt for one of the nearly ten other majors RIT offers that cover similar ground.
