Mission
The mission of the Graduate School is to transform students into leaders. To achieve this student-centered mission, we are governed by a three-part guiding principles: Advocating and innovating for graduate student success, access, and the overall student experience.

URI Graduate School at a Glance
URI offers over 120 separate graduate programs that cover research, professional, certificate, advanced bachelor-to-master’s for URI students, as well as our accelerated online programs.
Each year, over 2,100 graduate students enroll in one of our graduate programs; and over 900 graduate degrees are conferred with an additional 200 graduate certificate conferrals.

I think one of the biggest things that makes URI special is just these little, like unique opportunities that you can have here. And the fact that it’s so well-established across so many disciplines that you’re able to get like a little bit of everything when you come here.Elizabeth Pauley, Ph.D. Psychology Student
