Exploring Your Options
Your first year should be about exploring academic options and taking courses that interest you. You won’t declare a major at the University of Richmond until your sophomore year, so there is no pressure to decide what you want to study right now!

With so many majors, minors, and interdisciplinary programs to choose from, planning out your first semester can seem overwhelming—but don’t worry! You’ll have dedicated faculty, staff, and peer advisors who will meet with you to discuss class options and prepare you to register.
