Welcome to Westerly Education Center

Westerly Education Center brings together higher education institutions, businesses, industry, and community partners to provide high-quality educational programs to meet projected workforce growth in the region.

Courses

At Westerly Education Center, we host a wide variety of courses ranging from GED to introductory level to graduate-level rigor. All of Rhode Island’s public institutions of higher education offer classes in Westerly as well as private colleges, professional associations, and private businesses. If you don’t see one you need and would like to suggest it, we’re all ears. We can work with educational providers to see if we can try to host it or create it.
