Academic rigor, journalistic flair
University of Rhode Island
The University of Rhode Island is the state’s flagship institution of higher education, and its only public university. As such, we are uniquely positioned, ready and able to provide innovative ideas, adaptive intelligence and breakthrough research to enhance the lives of the people in our state, nation, and world.
At URI you’ll discover a small, beautiful, student-centered learning environment with the resources, research capabilities, and opportunities of a much larger public institution. In other words, we may be a smaller university, but our thinking is big. At URI, you’ll find some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs, innovators, and discoverers on our faculty, in our research enterprise, and in our student body.
Our students come from dozens of countries, and wherever you look, from Argentina to Zimbabwe, URI alumni are making a difference around the world. We are expanding international research and partnerships that will further prepare our graduates to contribute to an increasingly globalized economy and society.
And we are growing a community that embraces equity, diversity, and unity, in which students graduate with the capability to work across cultures, languages, lifestyles and traditions, because they have themselves been valued for both their individuality and the cultures they bring with them.
