Experiential Learning

Experiential learning is a central part of the Richmond academic experience. Numerous opportunities exist to gain experience in research and in the workplace. Graduate schools and employers place great value on your ability to explain the connections between classroom study and applied experience.

Internships will give you the opportunity to learn about particular fields or companies and can help you define your career direction. Quite often internships lead directly to job offers.

Undergraduate research, regardless of your major, allows you to explore subjects beyond the classroom and textbook. At Richmond you will have the opportunity to work with faculty in ongoing projects or propose your own research project.

International focus is a hallmark of a University of Richmond education. A student body representing more than 65 countries and visiting scholars from around the globe create a dynamic global environment on campus.

Study abroad will place you in a new culture where you'll develop a global perspective, cross-cultural understanding and a new level of self-reliance.

Service learning combines academics with community service. You earn academic credit for work on community service projects that require the skills and knowledge you're learning in class.
