COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The College of Arts and Sciences combines the advantages of a liberal arts college with the resources and faculty expertise of a major research university that has no borders. Whether you study fine arts, humanities, social or natural sciences, or the evolving fields of communications and computing, you will acquire the critical thinking skills to understand the foundations of our socio-political, economic, and natural world. Our Harrington School of Communication and Media unites the strengths of our programs in writing, communication studies, film/media, journalism, public relations, and library and information studies. Imagine your future as you want it—you can combine your interests into double majors that will prepare you to contribute to the world in a way as unique as you.
TIMES SQUARE TO TOKYO A summer sales job in Times Square sparked Sabrina’s interest in public relations. Inspired by general education classes with global themes, she quickly expanded her goals to include a double major in political science. Sabrina was selected as one of seven U.S. and fifteen Japanese students for an interdisciplinary summer research program offered in partnership with URI and the University of Tokyo. With Professor Timothy George, they visited sites devastated by the 2011 tsunami, including one that had been home to one of the Japanese students. “It was a life-changing experience,” says Sabrina.
