Dean's Welcome
Arts & Sciences is URI's largest and most diverse College, with 4,400 majors in 43 undergraduate and 15 graduate programs, combining a vibrant liberal arts core within a research university setting. Study our intellectual and cultural heritage, the physical and biological world, or leading-edge communications and computing—the foundations of our socio-political, economic, and natural world. Enjoy our myriad academic-year musicals, join us for theatrical performances, or visit our Arts Galleries contemporary exhibits year-round. You are most welcome!
New or current students—or alumni interested in your old College—this website is for you. Faculty and staff—here is convenient help with the business of the College. Please, let us know what you think. Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
