University College

Young adults who are just starting their higher education pathway and don't want the traditional 4-year residential experience have the opportunity here to explore courses that are culturally relevant and engaging. You won't just be sitting in the classroom, you'll be engaging in the community and potential careers through hands-on courses and projects.

Here part and fulltime adult learners have the opportunity to enroll in contextualized programs that honor their personal and professional experiences. Our courses have flexible schedules that fit into your life and our support systems were designed with you and your family you in mind because we know that going back to school isn't easy.

UC is where military members deployed overseas, serving here at home, or those who have already served can get started on their next steps. We collaborate and maintain partnerships with education officers throughout the military branches so we can best serve our military families and offer services and resources like military discount and a Student Veteran Organization (SVO). 

Through our portfolio of programs and courses, UC provides job-specific degrees and training for people looking to gain or expand workforce skills. We will work with you to pivot and build your skills to meet workplace needs and demands.

Middle or high school students from Providence and Pawtucket can explore college courses at UC. Students and young adults from those same cities can also start a path to a high school diploma from those through Gateway to College if they aren't on track to graduate or left high school without a diploma.

We are a thought partner and leader, working to solve problems, innovate, disrupt, and build new systems that create a positive and measurable impact for families, communities, and the State. Whether it’s designing custom courses or opening up our courses and trainings to your employees, we are prepared to provide the support and know-how that is required to meet your specific goals and needs.
