University of Richmond

The University of Richmond is one of only a handful of liberal arts colleges in the United States with a department dedicated to the study and practice of journalism. The Department of Journalism offers a major and minor in journalism. The journalism major is one of the most popular ones in the School of Arts and Sciences. Students graduate with a strong foundation in the liberal arts, refined and advanced skills in journalism, and a deep understanding of journalism's place and role in global society.

International Education is ranked #2 nationally in study abroad and #7 for the number of international students who study with us by the US News and World Report. Global exposure is a fundamental part of a Richmond education. International Education Week is a popular opportunity to celebrate across cultures. The office supports innovative study abroad and local-global programs, and student travel is fully funded through the EnCompass program, which supports non-traditional students who are otherwise at risk not to study abroad. Post-graduate experiences for students include Fulbright scholarships, the Peace Corps and Davis Projects for Peace.

Located near downtown Richmond, Virginia, the University blends the intimacy of a small college with exceptional academic, research, and cultural opportunities usually found only at large institutions. As a top 25 liberal arts university, we offer our 3,000 undergraduates and 1,000 graduate students a unique combination of programs across five schools. Our School of Arts & Sciences anchors Richmond as a nationally ranked liberal arts university. A top-ranked business school, the nation’s first school of leadership studies, a highly-respected law school, and the community-focused School of Professional and Continuing Studies build on that strong foundation.

The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. We invite new perspectives and celebrate discoveries across our range of disciplines. We’re committed to excellence because we know that what happens here has an incredible impact everywhere–and it all starts within us.
