University of Rhode Island

Here you’ll find the individual attention you’d get at a smaller university and the unique clinical experiences of a much larger institution. You’ll have opportunities for cross-discipline work with engineering, psychology, business, nutrition and more. And you’ll work with faculty who are as renowned for their research and innovation as they are for their excellence in primary care, community service, and workforce development.
