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.
Every Richmond undergraduate is guaranteed University funding for a paid summer experience, up to $5300, 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.
