JWU Providence is the university’s flagship campus, offering the best of both worlds with our urban Downcity Campus in the heart of Rhode Island’s Creative Capital and our scenic Harborside Campus overlooking Narragansett Bay.

Study in Rhode Island’s capital and learn from faculty engaged in health services, public health and interdisciplinary research.

JWU’s partnerships with Brown University Health, Care New England and Rhode Island public-sector organizations offer clinical experiences for our current students and employment opportunities for our graduates. In addition, JWU students present at the university’s research symposium and have ample opportunities to team up with faculty on research projects leading to publications in professional outlets and presentations at national conferences.
