About This School

Community College of Rhode Island is a public institution located in Warwick, Rhode Island with approximately 11,455 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,240 per year. Typical graduates earn $34,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) is a public community college in Rhode Island. It is the only community college in the state and the largest community college in New England. The college's primary facility is located in Warwick, with additional college buildings throughout the state.

The numbers tell a reassuring story on cost — at just $5,240/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,567 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential in New England. Worth considering if you're looking to complete general education requirements before transferring to a four-year school, or if you need a flexible, low-cost option close to home. The one honest concern: median earnings of $34,300 a decade out suggest that for students stopping at an associate degree, income growth may be limited — so having a clear plan for transfer or career advancement matters here.
