Convenient access.

The University of Richmond combines the resources of a private liberal arts college with the scheduling needs of working professionals. Undergraduate and graduate classes are scheduled in the evenings on campus, located conveniently in Richmond’s near West End with ample parking and all-night library access. Late-night assistance with technology, presentations and writing is also available.

Transfer opportunities.

Agreements with Reynolds Community College, John Tyler Community College and Richard Bland College ensure undergraduate transfer credit, and we also accept credit from a wide range of regionally accredited higher education institutions. At the master’s level, program chairs may accept up to six semester hours in transfer, depending on the coursework’s currency and applicability.

For less than expected.

Our degree programs offer you the personalized attention and small class size of a private university at a price that compares favorably with a public education. Our tuition rates are $480* per undergraduate and $600* per graduate credit hour. Scholarships are available and our degree programs qualify for financial aid.
