The University of Richmond

Founded in 1830, the University of Richmond provides a collaborative learning and research environment, offering students an extraordinary combination of the liberal arts with law, business, leadership studies, and continuing education.

It has been ranked #12 nationally among undergraduate business programs by BusinessWeek and #27 on the list of best liberal arts colleges in the nation by U.S. News & World Reports. Since 2005, University of Richmond students have been recipients of the Rhodes, Marshall, Goldwater, Clarendon, Truman, and Fullbright scholarships, among many others.

Among many unique assets, the University of Richmond's Modlin Center for the Arts features state-of-the-art performance venues, galleries, studios and classrooms. They present more than 40 world-class performing arts events each year as part of the ModlinArts Presents Series, five productions presented by the Department of Theatre and Dance and the University Players and Dancers, and another 23 music performances as part of the Department of Music's annual free concert series.

The Kip Kephart Foundation enthusiastically supports the University of Richmond's Performing Arts programs and funds the annual Bobby Chandler Award in Music, a cash grant given each year to an outstanding music major.
