Virginia Commonwealth University

Our students don’t only learn; they complete internships, volunteer in the community, graduate and get good jobs. Our faculty members don’t only teach; they collaborate across disciplines and conduct research that impacts lives and human health around the world. Since our founding as a medical school in 1838, Virginia Commonwealth University has expanded and evolved, taking a number of names and configurations along the way. Our DNA is complicated and rich. It’s made us who we are — diverse, engaged, open-minded and ambitious.
