At Radford University, our students learn and grow by trying new things. On our small, close-knit campuses, we offer opportunities to explore new ideas and master new skills as students carve their own paths to personal and professional fulfillment.

With caring faculty guiding them along the way, our students gain confidence in their knowledge. They see their career dreams coming into focus as they gain hands-on experience. And they build lifelong connections by living and learning alongside a diverse community of peers.

From mock-courtroom debaters to planetarium ticket takers — and every kind of student in between — we welcome students to follow their passion, challenge themselves and unleash their potential.

Radford students never have to go far for an adventure. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains and along the New River, it’s no surprise we were recently crowned the Top Adventure College by Blue Ridge Outdoors. On weekends, you’ll find our students hiking the trails, biking through the mountains, kayaking, climbing, camping, and more, all just minutes from campus. 

From challenge tacklers to figuring-it-outers, Radford University welcomes all kinds of students to find the career-focused learning experiences, supportive community, and opportunities for adventure they seek.
