Rhode Island College (RIC) is a public college in Providence, the capital of Rhode Island, in the north-eastern United States; it is listed among the regional public universities of New England. Its 180-acre campus is on Mount Pleasant Avenue, and total enrolment has passed 7,000 students.

International students who have finished secondary school apply as first-year students through the Common App and need, for example, TOEFL iBT 79 or IELTS 6.5.
