| U VIRGINIA,
founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson, is a public university.
Programs are offered through the College of Arts and Sciences
and the Schools of Architecture, Education, Engineering and Applied Science,
and Nursing, the McIntire School of Commerce, the Darden School
of Business Administration, and the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences. Its 1,151-acre campus is located in Charlottesville, 70 miles
northwest of Richmond. The original campus, designed by Jefferson, is
considered a masterpiece of American architecture. The University of Virginia offers the vast intellectual resources of a major research university,
but fosters the intimacy, sense of community, and dedication to
undergraduate life typically found at a small liberal arts college.
While it is public, and welcomes women and men of
every background, it also is highly selective and attracts students
who seek challenges. Their motivation to achieve is matched by
a culture of mutual support, openness, civility, and above all,
integrity and trust. With its balance — between cutting-edge scholarship
and first-rate teaching, between rigorous academics and rewarding activities —
U.Va. offers an undergraduate experience with few equals. Location/Contact
