Welcome to the Bold New Rhode Island College Website

RIC new website home page image

This website is responsive, mobile-optimized and most importantly inclusive so that all audiences are able to access the information they need.

Rhode Island College is pleased to welcome you to our BOLD new website. This project was a massive undertaking for many offices and teams across campus and it has been more than two years in the making.

Visually, the new website differs significantly from our previous one. The site has been completely redesigned using bold new branding elements. There are a number of features that have been developed so that our design is more versatile and can be customized to the needs and vision of the department or individual. Another noticeable difference is the expanded use of photography and videography throughout the site.

Organizationally, the navigation has been changed and streamlined so that visitors to the website can find the information they seek more easily. There is navigation by audience type and our search functions have been expanded so that the user can search for information in a variety of ways. These include areas of study, academic programs, faculty contacts, departments and student support services just to name a few.

Functionally, the website is responsive, mobile-optimized and most importantly inclusive so that all audiences are able to access the information they need. The new website is focused on the needs of our external audience, particularly prospective undergraduate, graduate and continuing education/professional studies students. 

We are proud of this new website and we're excited for you to begin exploring it. Although countless hours of work have gone into this project, it remains very much a work in progress. A school as vibrant and dynamic as ours requires a website that is equally vibrant and dynamic. This website is not a static that can simply be marked as complete and filed away. The content of this site is an ongoing process that will constantly continue to grow and evolve.

Over the next 6-12 months, we will make significant updates, adding many more pages and much more information. While this launch represents the end one phase of the process, it is also the beginning of another. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue developing this website.

We also ask for your feedback. We value your perspectives on the visual, functional and organizational features of the new site. We invite you to give us your impressions and constructive feedback as you browse these pages. 

We appreciate your patience and support during this time and apologize for any inconvenience that this transition may cause.
