Mission  
School mission: We are the largest university in the nation's smallest state, but with 13,000 undergraduates and 2,600 graduate students, URI is small enough to be friendly, intimate, safe, and student-centered. Our Students come from most states in the U.S. and dozens of countries all over the world. More than 100 undergraduate and 80 graduate degree programs, plus more than 100 student clubs and activities spark creativity and inspire our students' pioneering spirit. Perfectly located six miles from Rhodes Island's coastal beaches and easy driving distances from Providence, Boston, and New York, our picturesque rural setting is close enough to big-city culture to make anyone feel at home.
