URI Summer Study Abroad Programs

The University of Rhode Island (URI) offers students the opportunity to study in six (6) URI faculty led summer study abroad programs (Belize, Dominican Republic, England, Italy, Greece and Spain). These programs are designed to allow students to earn three to six credits toward their URI or other college/university degree. In the case of URI students, many of the courses satisfy the URI culture and/or diversity cluster requirements; certain GenEd requirements in Humanities; and part of the requirements for specific Majors or Minors. URI Summer Programs are open to both URI students and Non-URI students, as well as both degree seeking and non-degree seeking students (including teachers, parents and other professionals). There are also a number of affiliated and non-affiliated summer programs available to students. Students participating on these programs should read " What URI Students Need to Know About Summer Study Abroad Programs."
