Rhode Island Colleges & Universities: New England Schools

Published: November, 2010

While technically the smallest state in the Union, Rhode Island is big on character. This New England haven offers residents easy access to the Atlantic Coast (no one in Rhode Island is ever more than 45 minutes from the ocean). In addition to the strength of the state's educational institutions, students choose Rhode Island for its cultural and recreational appeal.

The textile mills of Rhode Island's past have given way to service-based industries. Today the largest industries in Rhode Island are healthcare, tourism, and manufacturing. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, citizens of Rhode Island rank 16th in the nation in per capita income. At the same time, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that Rhode Islanders consume less energy per person than any other state.

Rhode Island's capital and largest city is Providence, with a metropolitan population of more than 1.5 million. Providence is a city of students, with the median age at just 28 years old. Students in Rhode Island often pursue advanced degrees in subjects related to technology and design, including architecture, building technology, and information security. Other programs focus on specifically career-related topics like criminal justice and medical administration. Graduates of many such programs enter the Rhode Island job market prepared to make a difference.
