Salve Regina University

Salve Regina University is a private Catholic university located in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, founded in 1934 by the Sisters of Mercy with the goal of providing a comprehensive education that combines academic learning with human values. The university began as a small college called Salve Regina College and welcomed its first class after acquiring the historic Ochre Court mansion in 1947. In 1973, it became coeducational, and in 1991 it was officially designated as a full university. The campus spans about 80 acres in a scenic coastal area overlooking the ocean near Newport’s famous Cliff Walk, featuring historic buildings that have been restored and integrated into the learning environment, creating a unique and visually striking setting.
