University of Richmond Named On "Best Colleges" List

Posted: Updated:

Richmond, VA—The University of Richmond has been ranked among the best liberal arts colleges in the country.

U.S. News & Worlds Report's "Best Colleges 2013" guide ranked the University of Richmond Number 28 on its list of 249 Best National Liberal Arts Colleges.

The annual guide also ranks University of Richmond as Number 11 on its "Great Schools at Great Prices" list.

The best-value recognition reflect the school's "need-blind" admission policy, which doesn't consider an applicant's ability to pay when making admission decisions. The University of Richmond pledges to provide 100 percent of demonstrated financial need to admitted students.

Other recently released college guides that have ranked or selected Richmond include "The Fiske Guide to Colleges" (2013 edition), Princeton Review's "The Best 376 Colleges: 2013 Edition," and Forbes.com's America's Best Colleges online list.
