UR’s first Hip-Hop Week
Cultural conversations, karaoke, and dance moves were on the list of events acknowledging a lifestyle that began on the streets of New York.
At Richmond, you are given the freedom to explore your academic passions, supported by professors who are both excellent teachers and distinguished researchers. Whether in small classroom settings (98% of Richmond's classes have fewer than 30 students), living-learning communities (intensive academic/residential programs that take the collegiate experience to a new level), or funded undergraduate research (more than half of Richmond students will conduct mentored research with a faculty member), you'll receive the close faculty attention of a liberal arts college alongside the programs and resources of a mid-sized research university.
The Richmond Guarantee
Every Richmond undergraduate is guaranteed University funding for a paid summer experience, up to $5000, before graduating. Programs like UR Summer Fellowships allow you to pursue the internship or faculty-mentored research experience that best complements your academic pursuits — in any field of endeavor, and in any part of the world.
