University of Richmond

Graduate School of Arts & Sciences

Please note: The University's Graduate School of Arts & Sciences will not accept applications to any of its programs after fall 2008.

While the School of Arts & Sciences is primarily a home for undergraduates studying the liberal arts, there are a select number of departments within the school that also grant masters’ degrees. The programs are intimate and serve a diverse constituency. Typically, students who apply to a graduate program through the School of Arts & Sciences are seeking one of three things:

  • A base of knowledge to help them transition to a doctoral program in a field they may not previously have studied at the undergraduate level
  • A personal intellectual experience with no plans to pursue a more advanced degree
  • A capstone to their formal studies, often for professional reasons

Students can earn a Master of Science in biology, a Master of Arts in English, history or psychology, or a Master of Liberal Arts.

Financial aid for graduate level work is available through the University of Richmond’s Office of Financial Aid. Tuition varies based on your residency and other factors; you should inquire with the Controller’s Office for a current tuition and fee schedule.
