Special Summer School Opportunity for High School Students

The University of Richmond invites highly qualified high school juniors to accelerate and enrich their academic background by participating in college-level courses for full credit. All first-year courses are open to those high school students whose scholastic achievement and aptitude clearly indicate preparedness for such work.

Students will enroll as Summer School students subject to all rules and regulations of the University of Richmond Summer School. Credit earned will be kept on file to be applied if applicable to the student's degree program if he or she is accepted to the University of Richmond upon graduation, or a transcript will be forwarded to another college if requested by the student.

Special admission requirements for students in this program include the following:

  • Rank in the top fifth of the junior class
  • Aptitude and achievement test scores that clearly indicate capacity for college-level study
  • Evidence of interest and determination to meet the challenge of college-level work
  • Recommendation of the high school principal, headmaster, or guidance counselor.

A few of the introductory courses available this summer are

  • ARTS 101
  • ARTS 230
  • DANC 256
  • JOUR 200
  • MUS 338
  • PLSC 220

Please refer to the listings shown in the catalog for times, dates, and tuition for these and other introductory classes.
