Roger Williams University is an independent, co-educational institution with a focus on undergraduate learning, paired with strong, related master’s degree programs. The University is also home to Rhode Island’s only law school. At RWU, liberal arts education is paired with education for the professions, providing an interdisciplinary educational model where both courses of study are enhanced by their integration and the recognition of their unity. No matter what their major, our transdisciplinary general education program provides all Roger Williams graduates with a comprehensive foundation in the liberal arts, where they develop the problem solving, reasoning, communications and teamwork attributes that employers seek. Outside the classroom, our students avail themselves of a full complement of co-curricular, athletic, social and pre-professional opportunities and resources -all on a beautiful, 143-acre waterfront campus.
