President's Message
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.ccri.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
