Mission of Arts and Sciences at RIC
The Mission of Arts and Sciences at Rhode Island College is to provide a foundational and interdisciplinary education focused on the exploration of nature, life, and humanity; to practice the diverse ways of knowing, thinking, and doing characteristic of the liberal arts; to prepare students for a broad range of multi-faceted careers and for life-long learning; and to inspire engagement in our communities.
Graduate Programs
