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 $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.
