Spiders have numerous options abroad that complement their studies and time lines -- fall, spring, or summer. They receive a minimum of $1000 for semester abroad or are even fully funded for an EnCompass experience. That’s why more than 65% have a significant international experience before they graduate -- and you can, too!

EnCompass is the University of Richmond's flagship program to provide international experience to those least likely to study abroad.
Students from nearly 90 countries come to Richmond to study for a semester or a full four years. They actively engage in campus life and enrich classroom learning on a daily basis. Our team provides additional support for these international degree-seeking students, exchange students, and scholars at UR — a talented cohort that brings diverse perspectives to the student body.

Faculty and staff are key to internationalization at Richmond. They teach global topics, conduct research abroad, and travel all over the world to connect Richmond to a wide range of places meaningful for their work. They foster international perspectives in the classroom and through research all over the world, and students often form part of their research teams abroad.
