About the Program

International nongovernmental organizations studies (or INGOS) are nonprofit groups or associations that are independent of any government and work in more than one country. 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.

The INGOS program develops your understanding of global issues; provides exposure to career choices in the international arena and to graduate school opportunities in internationally oriented fields; promotes international travel; and facilitates​ internships with INGOS both in New England and around the world. This program is open to students in all majors, including political science, modern languages, social work, business and communications.
