The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 as the model for modern universities that has since been emulated all over the world. After 200 years, this iconic institution of higher learning endures because it is fully immersed in meeting the greatest challenges of our time, day in and day out. It’s how we fulfill our animating purpose – to serve. UVA is Virginia’s flagship institution of higher learning, perennially ranked as one of the best public universities in the nation. Having the best public college financial aid package and the highest graduation rate in the nation, UVA offers a life-changing return on investment for students from all backgrounds. We promote access so a meritocracy of talent can participate in shaping our society. The revolutionary vision of an Academical Village has evolved to 12 Schools, each providing leadership in its field and attracting world-class talent. The University is the largest employer in the region and is a catalyst for growth across the Commonwealth, generating an annual economic impact of $5.9 billion. Ultimately, we prepare students to be citizen-leaders who themselves are guided by empathy, integrity, and truth. We believe that doing what you do best, for the benefit of others, is where greatness comes from. Which is why, at the University of Virginia, we strive to be great and good in all we do. #GreatandGood #UVA
