Visual & Performing Arts

At Richmond, you don't need to choose between focused artistic study and a liberal arts education, nor between a large, well-resourced arts program and the personal attention of a smaller one — you'll get it all. From the curricular flexibility and small, dynamic classes of a liberal arts college to the magnificent facilities, dedicated instructors, and big-name visiting artists of a top-notch arts program, you'll get the best of both worlds majoring in music, theatre, dance, art, and art history.

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.
