The University of Richmond is a top national liberal arts school where small class sizes, world-class faculty mentorship, and exceptional outcomes are the standard.
Richmond is one of the only liberal arts schools of our size that also has 17 NCAA Division I varsity sports. With sport clubs and intramurals, too, we’ve got a team for you.
Here’s your guide to where classes are (generally) held on our campus 📌
With so many wide-ranging academic offerings, and many interdisciplinary programs that touch different departments and areas of study, this isn’t a complete map, but more of an intro into where to find our departments and what our academic buildings hold inside. We hope it’s helpful!
