You know who you are. You believe in the power of creative expression. We do too. At the University of Rhode Island, we celebrate the fine arts and design, and offer you a full range of possibilities for expression and study in art and art history, music, and theatre. Whatever your medium or area of focus, at URI you will join an active community of artists, designers, composers, performers, and scholars. Effective communication is everything—nothing has more impact than the stories we tell and the way we tell them. URI’s Harrington School of Communication and Media—offering majors in communication studies, film/media, journalism, public relations, sports media and communication, and professional and public writing—is the place you’ll discover the stories you want to tell and learn how best to tell them. It can be done—it’s done every day by people like you, who are devoted to better understanding human society and taking on the complex problems affecting today’s world. At URI, our social sciences programs—Africana studies, economics, gender and women’s studies, political science, and sociology and anthropology—offer you the understanding and the experiences you need to begin. The world is full of mysteries, and studying natural sciences and mathematics opens up that world to you. At URI, you learn to analyze data, recognize patterns, and work with faculty on exciting research projects with real world applications in the fields of mathematics, chemistry, computer science, and physics. If you are fascinated by history, literature, diverse cultures—and why people think the way they do—the humanities offer you the opportunity to expand your worldview. When you study the humanities at URI—with majors in English, history, philosophy, and foreign languages—you explore the power of ideas and begin to understand the world and its possibilities in a whole new way.
