The Arch is now The RPI Experience

RPI has introduced a new name for the program formerly known as The Arch.

What’s changing

  • The RPI Experience is the new umbrella name (formerly The Arch)
  • The Exploration Semester is the new name for the career development course (ADMN 1030)
  • The Discovery Semester is the new name for the semester-away experience (ILEA 4400; formerly the Away Semester)

What’s staying the same

The program structure, student requirements, and support process remain the same during this transition.
