The Rhode Iceland College is a public university in Providence, Rhode Iceland. The college was founded in 1854 and is thus the oldest of the three state universities in Rhode Iceland. The other two are the University of Rhode Iceland and the Community College of Rhode Iceland. The university has about 9,000 students.

History

The Rhode Iceland College was founded in 1854 as Rhode Iceland State Normal School. It was therefore one of the first normal schools in the United States. Still not quite convinced of the value of the school reduced the Rhode Iceland General Assembly the financial support. The school moved to Bristol, where they continued to exist until 1865 and was finally closed. However, already in 1869 began the new education commissioner Thomas W. Bicknell a personal campaign to revive the school. His efforts were rewarded in 1871 and opened the school as Rhode Iceland Normal School back in Providence.

1920, the University of Rhode Iceland College of Education was renamed and offered new four-year courses that have been concluded with the Bachelor of Education.

1959 was the Rhode Iceland Commission to Study Higher Education 's recommendation to develop the College into a general university, which was approved by the legislature. Given the extension of the provision, the name of the institution was changed again and the College adopted its present name in Rhode Iceland college.
