Community College of Rhode Island has formed a partnership with the
Rhode Island Association of Realtors (RIAR) to offer an associate degree
in real estate.
The program combines a variety of courses offered by CCRI and courses
offered by RIAR through the Graduate Realtors Institute. Community college
courses are included to assist individuals in sales and day-to-day
operations of a real estate office. The Graduate Realtor Institute will
provide the technical training courses in real estate. Students should
contact the Realtors Association at 785-3650 for information and
registration of Technical Training courses.
The program is designed to prepare individuals interested in becoming
real estate agents or brokers and also to upgrade the skill of those
already working in the field.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive an
Associate in Applied Science in Technical Studies (A.A.S.-T.S.) degree.

This program has been developed to prepare students for opportunities
in retailing. The program is designed to strengthen academic skills and to
develop and advance a student’s knowledge of the economic operations of
retailing so that (s)he may operate professionally and profitably in any
retailing activity. A student may elect to major in either mass
merchandising or fashion merchandising, depending on the student’s career
objective.
A major component of this program is the "cooperative work experience"
which is required of all students. All students must successfully complete
24 credits. Then, with the approval of the faculty and the cooperative
education coordinator, they will be assigned to a work experience in the
field of retailing for two semesters.
During their cooperative work experience, the students will be employed
in retailing establishments throughout the state. The amount of
reimbursement that the students receive will not be less than minimum
wage, and may be higher, depending on the policy of the company.
The faculty reserves the right to require the withdrawal at any time of
any student who gives evidence of inability to carry out the
responsibility of this program.
To meet the requirements for the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree,
students must take and pass all courses listed in the program of study and
accumulate a total of 60 credits.

The Certificate in Accounting program is designed to prepare students
for entry-level positions in the accounting field and to enhance the
practical skills of individuals currently employed in an
accounting-related position.
Students interested in this program are advised to develop a plan of

This program is designed to provide individuals with a basic
understanding of the principles, concepts, and procedures necessary to
start a small business. Upon completing the core and elective courses, the
student will apply his/her knowledge through an entrepreneurial capstone
course. The capstone course will require that the student develop a
complete business plan. The student will work under the guidance of a
faculty member. However, all work will be done independently without
benefit of classroom instruction.
Upon completion of the business plan, it will be reviewed by a
committee of volunteer advisors from the business community. This
committee of advisors may set its own criteria relative to what it deems
to be a successful business plan.
Note: All credits earned in this certificate program are applicable
towards the associate degree program in business in any one of the
concentrations offered by the department. If a student is considering
entering a degree program after completing the certificate, he or she
should select the six credits of electives carefully.
