Richmond’s signature general education curriculum constructs a life-long foundation for learning.
The first-year seminars offer the basics of intellectual pursuit; the communication skills requirements establish prerequisites of productive scholarship; the wellness requirements convey knowledge and habits that foster healthy lives; and fields of study requirements furnish necessary grounding in specific modes of understanding.
The University faculty voted to adopt a new curriculum on May 17, 2021, and implementation is now underway. The new curriculum will go into effect in Fall 2024. Students entering prior to Fall 2024 will continue in the University's current curriculum.
