Healthcare is one of the most rewarding paths in life because it transforms the lives of others. Whether you’re interested in working in a hospital, clinic, school or community health setting, Radford University is your place to begin. 

Here’s what you’ll find at Radford:

  • Quality Programs. Radford is home to a nationally recognized nursing college, one of the best RN programs in VA, a top-ranked online RN to B.S.N. program and a 100% board pass rate for Respiratory Therapy.
  • Career Readiness. We prepare students for careers in nursing, allied health science, respiratory therapy, emergency services, healthcare administration and more.
  • Hands-on Experiences. From our clinical simulation centers to our Center for Interprofessional Education and Practice, we offer you opportunities to learn by doing.

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. 

 

See yourself at a university that’s been nationally ranked and recognized as one of the best schools in the nation. 

You may welcome the idea of helping others in a health-related profession.
But that doesn’t mean you have your whole life figured out. 

At Radford, we’ll help you choose a health-related major that matches your strengths, explore courses based on your interests, build experience in your field of study and make the most out of your college experience.
