The Richmond Guarantee
Curriculum
You will begin your academic journey in the "Web of Inquiry," Richmond’s foundational curriculum, which will prepare you to be an inquisitive and engaged 21st-century citizen and leader. You will graduate with deep knowledge within your chosen major as well as a multifaceted worldview that will prepare you for rapidly changing job markets and evolving global landscapes.
Intellectual partners.
At Richmond, you won’t just learn from your professor. And you won’t just help your professor with a project or with their research. You will be an integral partner in making it all happen. Your teachers become your mentors, your supporters, and your confidants. And when you graduate, don’t be surprised when you have two, three, or more favorite professors who keep in touch with you long after graduation.
