Short History of
the University
Leadership
Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia in 1819.
He envisioned an institution dedicated to educating leaders in
practical affairs and public service rather than for professions in
the classroom and pulpit exclusively. It was the first university
in the United States to use the elective course system.
Jefferson was closely involved in every aspect of the
University’s original design, from planning the curriculum and
recruiting the first faculty to designing the Academical Village,
which consists of a terraced green space called the Lawn and
surrounding residential and academic buildings and gardens.
At the north end of the Lawn stands the Rotunda, the most
recognizable symbol of the University.
The University opened for classes in 1825 with 68 students
and eight faculty members who offered instruction in
ancient languages, modern languages, mathematics, moral
philosophy, natural philosophy, chemistry, law and medicine.
In 1824 the Board of Visitors, the University’s governing
body, authorized granting the Master of Arts degree. The
University awarded the first Doctor of Medicine degree in
1828, with the first Bachelor of Laws degree following in
1842. In 1899 the bachelor’s degree became the standard
undergraduate degree and a prerequisite for the master’s
degree, bringing the University in conformity with other U.S.
institutions of higher learning. The University has awarded the
Doctor of Philosophy degree since 1883.
