Welcome to the Community College of Rhode Island, the largest and most comprehensive
community college in New England. As you look through this catalog, you will
see that we offer a wide variety of excellent academic programs than can prepare
you for a new career, give you the skills you need to move ahead in your current
field, or prepare you to continue your education.
If you look around your community, you will see CCRI graduates working in
the schools, businesses, banks, hospitals and retail establishments that you
visit every day. They are employed in the manufacturing and technology firms
that seek highly skilled workers. Our placement statistics show that our students
get good jobs, at competitive salaries.
Nearly half of the students who come to CCRI continue their education after
earning an associate degree. Credits earned at CCRI transfer to colleges and
universities across the country. We have formal agreements with more than 75
colleges, public and private, that allow for a seamless transition from CCRI
to a four-year institution; some even offer attractive scholarships to CCRI
graduates.
Even if you’ve been out of the classroom for years, you don’t have to worry
about fitting in at CCRI. Our student population is diverse, a variety of support
services are available to help you achieve your goals, and our caring faculty
work together to create a learning community that puts your needs first.
Take a few minutes to get to know us – browse through this publication, visit
our web site at www.cccri.edu or make an appointment to meet with one of
our Enrollment Services staff. CCRI may be just what you need to build a better
future. Getting there starts here!
Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas D. Sepe
President
