September 10, 2014

U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges 2015” guide has ranked University of Richmond as the 23rd “Best Value” among national liberal arts colleges. Overall, Richmond ranked 30th on the National Liberal Arts College ranking.

Richmond is among only 1 percent of colleges and universities offering both need-blind admission – it does not consider an applicant’s ability to pay when making admission decisions – and pledging to meet 100 percent of the demonstrated financial need of admitted students.

The university consistently ranks as a top-tier liberal arts college and a best value by The Princeton Review, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, SmartMoney magazine, Forbes.com and other leading college guides.
