About Virginia Commonwealth

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is a public research university located in Richmond, Virginia, in the United States. VCU was founded in 1838 as the medical department of Hampden–Sydney College, becoming the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) in 1854. In 1968, the Virginia General Assembly merged MCV with the Richmond Professional Institute, founded in 1917, to create Virginia Commonwealth University. In 2025, more than 29,280 students were enrolled in more than 200 academic programs, and 23 VCU programs were ranked among U.S. News & World Report’s top 50 best college programs. The VCU Health System supports health care education, research, and patient care. In 2025, VCU surpassed the $560 million mark in sponsored research funding for the first time. VCU has doubled research funding over the past seven years with a goal of doubling again to reach $1 billion. VCU's athletic teams compete in NCAA Division I and are collectively known as the VCU Rams. They are members of the Atlantic 10 Conference. The VCU campus includes historic buildings such as the Egyptian Building, the White House of the Confederacy and the Ginter House, now used by the school's provost.
