Highlights

Who We Are

Our students come from 36 states and more than 30 countries. Our faculty is exactly the type of experienced, deeply engaged team youd expect from a top liberal arts college. Each and every class is taught by a faculty memberno TAs or grad students. That adds up to an impressive 8:1 student/faculty ratio and an average class size of 12.

What We Do

Were a community of learners and explorers. At Randolph, academic excellence is paramount, but some of our students most enlightening moments arent on the syllabus. They come during late-night dorm conversations, or riding the Paris Metro on a semester abroad, or by working side-by-side with a famous professor for a summer research project.

At Randolph, we play lots of sports (Go WildCats!), get active outdoors, sign up for way too many cool clubs, and love exploring the hangouts of our historic hometown, Lynchburg, VA. Randolphs campusall trees and grass and red brick buildingsis minutes from the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains and the James River, so any time is a good time for mountain biking, hiking, rafting or simply taking a scenic study break. Schedule a campus visit and see for yourself.

University Attributes

Founded in 1891, Randolph College is one of the premier co-ed colleges in the county, consistently ranking at the top of the lists in college guides, including U.S. News and World Report and the Princeton Review. Noted for the strength of its academic programs, the College was the first women's college in the south to receive a Phi Beta Kappa charte and ranks among the top 10 percent of all colleges and universities nationwide in the percentage of its graduates who go on to earn Ph.D.'s. As of today, it has become a co-ed institution committed to provide world-class education to both men and women. Key to the succes is our emphasis on the Macon Plan - developed individually for students with guidance from the faculty - that combines course work, internships, study abroad, and co-curricular activities into a rigorous and coherent educational program.
