Rhode Island School of Design
Rhode Island School of Design was founded in 1877 in Providence, Rhode Island, established in part through the efforts of a group of women affiliated with the Rhode Island Centennial Commission who wanted to create a dedicated school combining fine arts and industrial design education. RISD built a close, formal academic relationship with neighboring Brown University, letting students at both institutions cross-register for courses, a distinctive arrangement giving RISD art and design students access to a full research university's broader liberal arts curriculum. The school has consistently ranked among the very top art and design programs in the country, with particularly strong reputations in industrial design, illustration, and architecture, and its alumni include numerous prominent working artists, designers, and creative directors across major industries. RISD's combination of its founding by 19th-century civic-minded women reformers and its unusual academic partnership with Brown University has made it one of the most highly regarded art and design schools in the country.
VS
Parsons School of Design
Parsons School of Design was founded in 1896 in New York City, and it grew over the following century into one of the most prominent fashion and design schools in the world, eventually becoming part of The New School university system in 1970. The school built an especially strong reputation in fashion design, and its notable alumni include numerous prominent American fashion designers, giving Parsons an outsized influence specifically on the American fashion industry relative to its size as an academic program. Parsons gained significant mainstream visibility through the reality television competition show "Project Runway," which for years prominently featured Parsons as the program's home institution, exposing the school's name and design philosophy to a broad general television audience beyond the fashion industry itself. Parsons School of Design's combination of its outsized influence on the American fashion design industry and its mainstream visibility through "Project Runway" has made it one of the most publicly recognized art and design schools in the country.
