About the University of Richmond

The University of Richmond is a small, private, liberal arts institution located in the capitol of Virginia on a beautiful residential campus minutes from downtown Richmond.  Richmond is a nationally ranked university and offers the unique combination of small class sizes, personal attention from faculty, and rigorous academics with facilities and research opportunities often found only at large institutions.  Richmond prides itself on its top-25 ranked undergraduate Business school, Jepson school of Leadership--the first school of its kind in the country, and challenging arts and science departments, all firmly based in the liberal arts tradition.

International education is very important at the University of Richmond.  Recently named "Hottest School for International Studies," by Newsweek, Richmond sends hundreds of students abroad each year to study in more than 30 countries and welcomes international students from around the world each semester either as exchange students or four-year degree seeking students.  This internationally focused University is a great place for international students, and the contributions international students make to the global integration of the campus are greatly valued.
