The Rochester Institute of Technology Croatia, previously known as the American College of Management and Technology[5] is a satellite campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology located in Dubrovnik, and in Zagreb, Croatia. It is the only higher education institution in the country which grants both American and Croatian degrees.[6][7] As an integral part of RIT, it has earned many international accreditations, such as The Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business for the quality of programs. Additionally, RIT Croatia has been accredited by the Agency for Science and Higher Education (Ministry of Science and Education (Croatia)).[8]

Completion of the four-year program results in an American Bachelor of Science awarded by RIT, and an equivalent Croatian degree. The college also offers a graduate degree.[2]

RIT provides career-oriented education, focusing on preparing students for their careers and the (global) job market. RIT Croatia promotes diversity, curiosity, innovation, and integrity. The faculty teaches students to think critically and make independent decisions as well as improve their leadership and communication skills. RIT Croatia is an excellent choice for all who wish to study in an international and dynamic environment as well as for those thinking about global careers.
