SPS and Community College of Rhode Island Partnership for Bachelor’s Degree Completion

Clark University’s School of Professional Studies (SPS) has partnered with the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) to provide seamless transfer and transition for CCRI students to complete their bachelor’s degree through our Undergraduate Degree Completion Program.
