Message From Our Dean

Andrew T. Arroyo,  Ed.D.
Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs
Interim Dean of the University College
Professor of Educational Leadership

Welcome to an exciting new chapter at VCU!

We are thrilled to introduce the newly reimagined University College, a space designed for everyone at VCU. Building on its original mission as the “front door” to the university, it now houses interdisciplinary academic programs, innovation-focused degrees and certificates, and experiential learning through Transformative Learning, the da Vinci Center for Innovation, Shift Retail Lab and Life Design.

Our goal is to foster creativity, collaboration, and personal growth, giving every member of the VCU community access to hands-on, high-impact opportunities.

We invite you to explore all that University College has to offer, connect with our programs and resources, and join us in shaping the future of learning at VCU.

Andrew T. Arroyo,  Ed.D.
