Reply to comment by cnorl in Why does Rhode Island College have such a negative reputation? Is it that bad? by PinkSwallowLove

RIC is effectively a university . The title “college” is more about nostalgia than anything else. There are something like 40 graduate programs at RIC and plenty of research going on. Definitely not the same as in a big R1 place but plenty to engage undergraduates. RIC should really be called “Rhode Island State University”

There was talk at one point of renaming the school ocean state university and so many people were stuck on the tradition of RIC being RIC

Oh interesting, gotcha. Thanks for the correction. I was there so long ago, and only as a visiting student, I had no idea.
