Rhode Island College is a state-supported comprehensive college founded in 1854, located in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. Rhode Island College is the oldest of the three public institutions of higher education that operate under the aegis of the Board of Governors for Higher Education. Rhode Island College traces its origins to the Rhode Island State Normal School, established by the act of the General Assembly in 1854. At first the Rhode Island Normal School offered admission to both high school graduates and non-graduates, with high school graduates expected to complete their studies in one year. In 1920 the normal school became, by act of the General Assembly, the Rhode Island College of Education (RICE), offering a four year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Education. For the next three decades the college remained a small, stable teachers’ college with a student body of four to six hundred men and women, most of whom went on to teach in the elementary and junior high schools of the state. With an enrollment predominantly from Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut, the institution historically has served as a “College of Opportunity” for first-generation college students.
