Company Profile

Company Overview

Virginia Commonwealth University is a premier urban, public research university with a diverse student body and both research-intensive and community-engaged designations from the Carnegie Foundation. Located in historic Richmond, Virginia, VCU enrolls more than 31,000 students on two campuses.

The Institute for Inclusion, Inquiry & Innovation (iCubed) at VCU builds human capital across the university and community. It connects multiple disciplines and lived experiences through the creation of transdisciplinary cores, which are university-community partnerships that endeavor to solve problems that disproportionately affect populations in urban areas.

The School of Nursing offers academic programs to educate nurses from entry level practice through the doctorate — all with the mission of improving health and the human condition through nursing research, education and service. The school enrolls an average of 900 students and is located on the MCV Campus in downtown Richmond, Virginia. The comprehensive health sciences environment includes a partnership with VCU Medical Center, a Level I trauma center with Magnet status. Faculty members include both expert nurses who maintain their clinical practices and nurse scientists renowned for cutting-edge research designed to advance nursing knowledge. Their work has consistently ranked the VCU School of Nursing in the top tier of National Institutes of Health-funded nursing schools.
