Welcome from Our Academic Leaders
Hear directly from our campus academic leaders about the opportunities awaiting you at Radford. Each picture opens a site with a welcome video from college Dean as well as videos highlighting campus facilities and resources. If you're unsure about your major, we encourage you to learn more about our more than 105 academic programs and the Advising Center for Major Exporation by clicking the "Explore Majors at Radford University" picture to the right.
Across academic disciplines, Radford students enjoy small classroom settings, research alongside faculty members and employ real-world application of skills. We believe that our balance of affordability with individualized attention to the needs and interests of our students is what makes Radford University not only a great way to meet your educational goals but also one of the best values in higher education.
