The University of Rhode Island (URI), chartered in 1888, began as the state agricultural school. Today, a land-and-sea-grant public university, URI has grown into a major research institution, offering over 80 undergraduate majors to over 14,600 enrolled undergraduate students. With over 100 majors and minors, you are sure to find courses of relevance for your academic and personal aspirations.

URI\u2019s main campus, located on a beautiful 1,200-acre rural property in the historic village of Kington, Rhode Island (pop. 23,000) in the southern part of the Ocean State, offers a spacious campus that includes a quadrangle of handsome old granite buildings surrounded by modern academic buildings and residence halls. The local area is rich in colonial history and the village of Kingston itself is a national historic monument. View details and interactive maps of the URI campuses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
