Post-graduation Spiders continue their studies
Four members of the Class of 2025 heading to Syracuse University, Penn, Oxford, and MIT are among the 100-plus recent Richmond alumni on their way to graduate school this fall.
The humanities lie at the core of a liberal arts college, and Richmond is no exception. Studying literature, language, history, philosophy, and religion at Richmond, you'll experience an intimate classroom environment — 16 students on average, with dedicated and expert faculty who lead dynamic discussions — along with the resources and opportunities of a larger university. These combine to give you not only an excellent liberal arts degree, but also the experiences and skill sets for a high level of success after college.
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.
