About Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Pawtucket is a city in Providence County, Rhode Island, United States. The Pawtucket region was said to have been one of the most populous places in New England prior to the arrival of European settlers. American Indians would catch the salmon and smaller fish that gathered at the falls. The City of Pawtucket has been supportive of the arts community since 1975. On September 2, 1977, the Beach Boys performed a concert at Narragansett Park. The concert was attended by 40,000 people, making it the largest concert audience in Rhode Island history. (Wikipedia)

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
