The art of curating
An appreciation for the aesthetics and history of art sparks senior Alexandra Gramuglia’s interest in curation.
The social sciences focus on the study of human society. From psychology to political science to international studies, Richmond offers you a wealth of opportunities for in-depth study of society — whether in a close-knit, dynamic classroom environment with dedicated faculty, or through an array of “real-world” experiences ranging from study abroad (70% of Richmond students) to research (50%) to internships (90%). Our interdisciplinary majors in Health Studies and PPEL (Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law), along with our unique School of Leadership Studies, typify the cross-disciplinary opportunities available to students.
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.
