Programs & Initiatives

Roger Williams University has developed formal affiliations and partner at home and abroad with a carefully selected list of quality program providers that are recognized nationally for their proven academic integrity, strong focus on experiential learning and excellent reputation for providing quality support services to students abroad.

In order to make the study abroad process as seamless as possible, RWU students who participate on these affiliated programs will, in most cases, continue to pay RWU tuition and fees. Some exceptions do apply so please inquire with the Speigel Center for current program information.

RWU students have a choice between classic lecture-based programs abroad where a students is directly enrolled in a foreign university, field based programs that are smaller in nature and give a unique cultural experience and discipline-specific programs allowing hands on experience in a particular academic discipline.

Global and International Program Theme

The SCGIP develops a global and international program for each semester along with guest speakers, round-table or interest group discussions in addition to our regular sponsored or co-sponsored annual events such as “Free Passport Event”, Global Fest, International Education Week, etc.

Global Partnerships

The SCGIP continues to cultivate, maintain, and help initiate RWU global partnerships at home and abroad. These global partnerships provide outstanding opportunities for both our students and faculty members in global learning, teaching and research.
