RWU Extension School ensures that all learners and communities are supported with pathways, programs, supports, and services that meet their educational needs.
A College that Serves All Learners and Communities
Our overarching goal is to meet students where they are and help build a path to their success. Whatever age, whatever demands and challenges you face, whatever education and career paths you have or haven't taken, we will work with you to break barriers and find opportunity.
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.
The collaborative provides a bridge for RWU EXT 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.
A College with a Staff that Meets Students Where They Are
We rely on people with the right experience and connections to help get you where you want to go. Our faculty and staff are here to lend you their expertise, guide you, and help you network. Because they have walked a similar path, they are committed to removing any barriers you may encounter.
Funded by a $250,000 grant from the Hayden Foundation, the scholarships will provide full financial support for students enrolled in RWU’s trades programs and help address a critical labor shortage in the state of Rhode Island.
