Welcome to the College of Arts & Sciences on the Web!

The College of Arts & Sciences is URI's largest and most complex academic unit offering 43 bachelor's, 6 master's, 2 professional master's, and 7 doctoral degree programs. As a student-centered enterprise, we combine the advantages of a vibrant liberal arts institution with those of a mid-sized research university. Moreover, we provide general education offerings to all undergraduates at URI.   Our programs of study enable students to understand our intellectual and cultural heritage and those of others in the global community, the physical and biological world in which we live, the rapidly changing roles and capabilities of electronic communications and computing technologies, and our social, economic, and political development.  The College engages in extensive service to the public and private sectors and conducts internationally renowned and externally funded programs of research.  We present over 125 performances for the public featuring Theatre and Music and offer several exhibitions in our Fine Arts Galleries throughout each academic year!
