International NGOs and Nonprofit Studies C.U.S.

The Certificate of Undergraduate Study (C.U.S.) in INGOS at Rhode Island College introduces students to organizations that include Amnesty International, the World Wildlife Fund and Doctors without Borders and explores the many ways that these important nongovernmental organizations are shaping our world.
