Presidents of Brown, RISD to formalize dual-degree program

PROVIDENCE R.I.

Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design will formalize a new partnership.

The two schools are creating a new dual degree program that is set to begin in the 2008-09 academic year.

Brown and RISD students can currently cross-register, but the new dual degree program is intended to capitalize on the strengths of the two institutions.

Presidents of both Brown and RISD will sign a memorandum of understanding Friday to formalize the agreement.
