Our affordable programs range from professional certificates to bachelor’s and graduate degrees. Whether you are looking to start a degree, finish one, explore or expand career options, this is where you can start.

Whether you're looking to gain workforce skills or jump into a new career the Center for Workforce & Professional Development provides individuals with the skills they need to advance. For industry and community-based organizations, this is where you go to build the skills, knowledge, and competencies of your workforce.

The collaborative provides a bridge for UC to the communities big issues. They provide a “think and do” laboratory that faculty, students, and staff can leverage to better all of Rhode Island.

Through our external partnerships with industry, community groups, and local and state government agencies we interface with the public and its leaders to identify and implement solutions that benefit the larger community.
