RWU is a comprehensive, private University located on the water in Rhode Island. With nearly 4,000 full-time undergraduates on our primarily residential, suburban campus in Bristol, we are small enough to make personal connections and large enough to see a new face every single day. 100% of our students graduate with more than one academic program, and 100% graduate with at least one engaged learning experience (internship, research, service, etc.). Programs range from Marine Biology to Architecture, and Engineering to the Arts.
