This area of study includes advanced degree programs in Social Work and Justice Studies. The Rhode Island College School of Social Work is nationally recognized as one of the best in its field. We recognize that for those who choose to pursue social work, it's not just a degree program, but a calling. The Justice Studies program takes an incisive look at issues of equity and fairness in connection with the broader fields of social and criminal justice.
