PROGRAMS WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF GRADUATION. AFFORDABLE EXCELLENCE
To hold the line on college costs, in 2012, RWU launched the Affordable Excellence initiative which guarantees that your tuition rate and the financial aid you receive will not change over the course of your degree. Our price stability provides you with the added piece of mind that you can create a financial plan for the next four years with us with confidence. Compare this pricing assurance to average annual tuition increases of 3-5% yearly at many other schools, and the value of an RWU degree becomes even more evident.

The courses you will take, the clubs you will join or create, the majors and minors you pursue and your goals beyond your degree will make your RWU journey unique. At Roger Williams University, our collaborative work will prepare you to become a lifelong learner, an engaged professional and active citizen. While your RWU path will be your own, the experiences below are what all students can expect.
ENGAGED LEARNING
ADVISING AND SUPPORT
RWU will challenge you to solve real-world problems throughout your academic career. Our dedication to experiential learning guarantees that you will tackle community projects, complete internships (locally and abroad), or conduct research with faculty across any major you choose. Further, as a primarily undergraduate university, RWU students have access to faculty, facilities, and opportunities that are usually reserved just for graduate students at larger universities. These opportunities provide you with an advantage in your future job searches and the graduate school application process.
You are never alone at RWU. Tutors, career advisors, peer mentors, and accessibility services staff provide you a range of resources and support from orientation through to graduation. This personalized approach is designed to keep you succeeding in the classroom and on campus.
