The Graduate Experience
Small campus personality. Big campus opportunity.
Where experience meets opportunity.
Earning a graduate degree or certificate is a critical step for personal and professional success. At RWU, we go a step further. Our students embrace experiences throughout their studies inside and outside the classroom, offering them a deeply enriching education followed by valuable career opportunities after graduation. Whether you want to study on campus or online, part-time or full-time, in Bristol or Providence, RWU has a program and delivery available to meet your needs and schedule.
RWU Launches Interdisciplinary Master's Degree in Real Estate
Far from merely buying and selling homes, the field of real estate is expanding rapidly and the factors that impact the ability to access, afford, build, and sustain housing are incredibly complex. This new program, and an accompanying graduate certificate, offers wide-ranging coursework that spans topics in design, finance, management, construction, regulatory affairs, environmental conditions, and social policy. The degree can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis with fully asynchronous online coursework and two dynamic in-person residency experiences; one our campus in Bristol, Rhode Island and one in New York City.

A Tale of Two Campuses
Graduate students at RWU study at one of two campuses: our main campus, situated on scenic Mount Hope Bay in Bristol, RI, and our metro campus, located in the heart of the state capital, Providence, RI. Each campus plays a vital role in the University's commitment to supporting and growing the local economy and providing vital resources to nonprofit organizations, corporations, and municipal governments throughout the State of Rhode Island.
A Passion for Forensic Psychology
Morgan Branco always liked psychology and law, but knew that she didn’t want to be a lawyer. She researched other career paths that combine psychology and law and discovered forensic psychology. Now, she is passionate about the field.
“Being able to assess and help underserved populations is always something I’ve been interested in,” she said.
Branco is now pursuing her PsyD at Nova Southeastern University and is the president of the Forensic Advocates for Rehabilitation and Reintegration (FARR) there.
