Two of the state's public institutions are administered by the Rhode Island Board Board of Education.[1] The other, the University of Rhode Island, is overseen by its own board of trustees.[2][3][4] The state operates two public universities, the University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College, as well as the Community College of Rhode Island, which offers degrees at six locations. The Naval War College, operated by the federal United States Navy, is located in Newport. The oldest school in the state is Brown University, a member of the Ivy League and the only Rhode Island institution founded before the American Revolution. The newest college is College Unbound, a degree completion school in Providence.[5] Enrollment sizes range from College Unbound at 208 students to the University of Rhode Island, the state's flagship public university, with 20,720 students.

The institutions included on this list are all regionally accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.[6]
