We’re Virginia Commonwealth University — the university FOR Virginia. You will see an incredible mix of attitudes, styles and stories. Inclusion is our heartbeat and it drives us to tackle difficult challenges others can’t or won’t. We do things differently here, because we know that different works. We're proud of our rankings, but they don't define us. Rankings don’t change lives, we do. VCU’s unequaled combination of excellence, diversity, research and creativity makes success possible for every one of our 300,000+ RAMily members. And that makes us one of the most innovative universities in the U.S. We are Richmond's largest employer. And we prove every day that when you come to VCU, you can become anything. As one of Virginia’s top three research institutions, every student has the chance to participate in activities that result in breakthrough work. Our sponsored research has increased 71% since 2018, to $464.6 million. And our discoveries have led to thousands of patents and successful student startups. In addition, our VCU Health System is dedicated to ending health care disparities. We are Richmond's top hospital and serve as a renowned training facility for future health care leaders. All students receive unique benefits to improve their quality of life, and to make a difference by helping others. Every step moves society closer to the next life-changing solution. Our graduates are trained to make an impact in the world, and they carry that responsibility wherever they go. We reject traditional thinking and champion the unconventional, setting standards that others follow. We give our students the freedom to rewrite the rule books and the skills to disrupt expectations. We’re pursuing a future that’s built by us. A future that improves learning and health for ALL.
