Rhode Island Community Colleges (2-Yr Colleges)Rhode Island Junior Colleges, Technical Schools, and InstitutesThe State of Rhode Island administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in Rhode Island, sometimes called Rhode Island junior colleges, or Rhode Island technical institutes, and so-called "four-year" Rhode Island colleges which award bachelor's and master's degrees. The "two-year" community educational institutions provide post-secondary education and lower-level tertiary education, granting certificates, diplomas, and associate's degrees in Rhode Island. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the Rhode Island local community The Rhode Island General Assembly passed legislation in 1960 creating a statewide community college system. The first community college campus opened its doors in 1964. In 1969, a statewide campus master plan was unveiled, and the following year, Rhode Island voters approved a massive bond issue to build a new campus and plan a third. In 1980, the Rhode Island Board of Regents for Education approved a change in the name of the college from Rhode Island Junior College to the Community College of Rhode Island, a single-college, three-campus system.
