Ranked as one of the top 20 most beautiful campuses in the nation by the Princeton Review, the University of Richmond prides itself in being a private, highly selective liberal arts university. Founded in 1830, the University of Richmond is the second oldest private university in Virginia, and is steeped in tradition and history.

The University of Richmond's 350-acre campus, including a 10-acre lake, offers an intimate learning environment with a wide range of undergraduate and graduate academic programs. The campus offers something for everyone with its schools of arts and sciences, business, leadership studies, law, and continuing studies. Students can choose from over 55 majors, 42 minors, and 12 concentrations at the undergraduate level, as well as from six master's degrees and an MBA program.

Aside from excellent academic opportunities, University of Richmond students are located a mere six miles from downtown Richmond, the historically rich capital of Virginia, as well as only two hours from Washington D.C., the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Virginia shore. In addition to the countless off campus activities, the University of Richmond has over 275 clubs and organizations, including student government, sororities and fraternities, and honor and judicial councils. The University of Richmond also provides students with 75 study abroad programs in 25 countries each year.
