RMCAD, at its roots, is a Fine Art college and in all programs, we foster students to take their craft wherever it is they would like to go.

Some faculty have worked as stunt performers but are also animators (a good combination of skills), others have worked in product development and 3D printing. The faculty serve the purpose to educate and encourage students to think creatively and consider how their talents may be used in a vast array of creative ways.
