At half the size of a typical research university, Richmond offers a close-knit, personal academic environment, with an average class size of 16 students and no teaching assistants — even in the lab. But at twice the size of a typical liberal arts college, Richmond also provides an abundance of graduate-level research opportunities in mathematics and the natural sciences, with more than 60 research-active faculty, no graduate students, and over $2 million in undergraduate research funding each year.
Every Richmond undergraduate is guaranteed University funding for a paid summer experience, up to $5000, 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.
