In 1819, Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia and inaugurated a bold experiment – a public university designed to advance human knowledge, educate leaders and cultivate an informed citizenry.

More than two centuries later, this vision is thriving. Across Grounds - and throughout the world - UVA students, faculty, staff and alumni challenge convention, break barriers and pursue the greater good.

A LEADER IN PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION

The University is an iconic public institution of higher education, boasting nationally ranked schools and programs, diverse and distinguished faculty, a major academic medical center and proud history as a renowned research university. The community and culture of the University are enriched by active student self-governance, sustained commitment to the arts and a robust NCAA Division I Athletics program.

Why?

The University of Virginia encompasses twelve schools in Charlottesville, as well as the College at Wise in Southwest Virginia.

In 2023, the University was ranked third best public university by U.S. News & World Report. In the 23 years since U.S. News began ranking public universities as a separate category, UVA has ranked in the top four and continues to rank in the Top 30 among the best of all national universities, public and private.
