Two Campuses. Endless Opportunities.
With two distinctive campuses in Bristol and Providence, Rhode Island, RWU offers the perfect balance of a safe, close-knit waterfront community and a vibrant urban hub. Our students thrive in a university that is just the right size—small classes, strong faculty mentorship, and access to hands-on experiences in Rhode Island, Boston, New York, and beyond.
We’re not just located in the community—we’re embedded in it, forging partnerships that give students real-world opportunities while making a difference.
From Bristol’s quiet shoreline to Providence’s bustling downtown, RWU’s campuses serve as launchpads for research, internships, and careers. Students have direct access to opportunities throughout Rhode Island, southeastern New England, Boston, and New York.
Here, location matters—because where you learn shapes how you live, work, and grow.
