Since its 1893 relocation to College Hill, [[Rhode Island School of Design]] (RISD) has bordered Brown to its west. Since 1900, Brown and RISD students have been able to cross-register at the two institutions, with Brown students permitted to take as many as four courses at RISD to count towards their Brown degree.<ref>{{Cite book |last=University |first=Brown |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dvzOAAAAMAAJ |title=Annual Report of the President to the Corporation of Brown University |date=1900 |publisher= |isbn= |location= |pages= |language=en |access-date=January 17, 2021 |archive-date=October 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028221010/https://www.google.com/gen_204?s=web&t=aft&atyp=csi&ei=wB97Yf7_Oc3L0PEPp62a6AU&rt=wsrt.180,aft.1401,prt.964&imn=17&ima=14&imad=14&aftp=14235&bl=VsEN |url-status=live}}</ref> The two institutions partner to provide various student-life services and the two student bodies compose a synergy in the College Hill cultural scene.

==== Dual Degree Program ====
After several years of discussion between the two institutions and several students pursuing dual degrees unofficially, Brown and RISD formally established a five-year dual degree program in 2007, with the first class matriculating in the fall of 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/2007-08/07-013.html |title=07-013 (Brown/RISD Joint Degree) |website=www.brown.edu |access-date=2018-07-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070818025835/http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/2007-08/07-013.html |archive-date=August 18, 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref> The Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program, among the most selective in the country, offered admission to 20 of the 725 applicants for the class entering in autumn 2020, for an acceptance rate of 2.7%.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kubzansky |first=Will |date=2020-03-26 |title=Brown admits 6.9 percent of applicants amid COVID-19 crisis |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/2020/03/26/brown-admits-6-9-percent-applicants-amid-covid-19-crisis/ |access-date=2021-03-29 |website=Brown Daily Herald |language=en-US |archive-date=April 14, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414161011/https://www.browndailyherald.com/2020/03/26/brown-admits-6-9-percent-applicants-amid-covid-19-crisis/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The program combines the complementary strengths of the two institutions, integrating studio art and design at RISD with Brown's academic offerings. Students are admitted to the Dual Degree Program for a course lasting five years and culminating in both the Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) or Bachelor of Science (Sc.B.) degree from Brown and the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree from RISD. Prospective students must apply to the two schools separately and be accepted by separate admissions committees. Their application must then be approved by a third Brown|RISD joint committee.

Admitted students spend the first year in residence at RISD completing its first-year Experimental and Foundation Studies curriculum while taking up to three Brown classes. Students spend their second year in residence at Brown, during which students take mainly Brown courses while starting on their RISD major requirements. In the third, fourth, and fifth years, students can elect to live at either school or off-campus, and course distribution is determined by the requirements of each student's unique combination of Brown concentration and RISD major. Program participants are noted for their creative and original approach to cross-disciplinary opportunities, combining, for example, industrial design with engineering, or anatomical illustration with human biology, or philosophy with sculpture, or architecture with urban studies. An annual "BRDD Exhibition" is a well-publicized and heavily attended event, drawing interest and attendees from the broader world of industry, design, the media, and the fine arts.

==== MADE Program ====
In 2020, the two schools announced the establishment of a new joint Master of Arts in Design Engineering program. Abbreviated as MADE, the program intends to combine RISD's programs in industrial design with Brown's programs in engineering. The program is administered through Brown's School of Engineering and RISD's Architecture and Design Division.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Li |first=Aubrey |date=2020-11-04 |title=Brown collaborates with RISD to create new joint master's program |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/2020/11/04/brown-collaborates-risd-create-new-joint-masters-program/ |access-date=2021-04-10 |website=Brown Daily Herald |language=en-US |archive-date=April 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411024735/https://www.browndailyherald.com/2020/11/04/brown-collaborates-risd-create-new-joint-masters-program/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
