  • About
"VCU is UNLIKE the rest. We could tout big numbers like our $9.5 billion economic impact or the $1 billion in new campus construction or even the school record $500 million in research funding. But our impact is measured in much smaller increments — one student and patient at a time. VCU’s unequaled combination of excellence, diversity, research and creativity makes success possible for every one of our 300,000+ “RAMily” members. And that makes us one of the most innovative universities in the country.

Military Veterans

"VCU is an excellent choice for military service members and veterans. We listen to students' needs and provide support, programming and educational options that military affiliated students require to succeed. Staffed by a knowledgeable, proactive, and caring team of veterans and dependents with strong ties to the military community. VCU Military Student Services assists with processing veteran benefits and answers the questions that result when transitioning from military life to the college. VCU's chapter of the Student Veterans of America is active and thriving, working closely with MSS to provide a voice for all military families on a diverse campus."

Military Spouses

Military spouses and dependents make up almost two-thirds of our military-affiliated student population. Spouses and dependents actively participate in the Student Veterans of America and play key roles in many parts of student life while on campus. Support programming is provided by the Military Student Services with veterans and dependents in mind in regards to everything from internships and student leadership to career services and counseling.
