The Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy

At UVA’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, we are committed to solving the world’s toughest policy challenges. We know the complex issues of our time demand innovative, collaborative, cross-sector relationships within our walls and beyond. Our multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving and emphasis on ethics reinforce our focus on how leadership works, why context matters in decision-making and which actions lead to tangible results.

 

The Karsh Institute of Democracy

The University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy is dedicated to a future in which democracy’s aspirations and reality are aligned.

We work tirelessly to understand, defend, and invigorate the institutions, practices, and cultural underpinnings that are the foundations of democracy. Through all our work—robust interdisciplinary scholarship, research and teaching, and vibrant programs and partnerships designed to engage the public and influence policy agendas—we are shaping a thriving democratic future.

 

The Quantitative Collaborative

The University of Virginia’s Quantitative Collaborative (QC) is committed to supporting and enhancing the work of faculty and graduate students who employ quantitative methods to analyze social behavior.

 

The Quantitative Collaborative (QC) defines an organizational umbrella under which quantitative social scientists, regardless of department or school, gather to pursue research questions of common interest.  As its name suggests, the QC also fosters and provides a natural locus for quantitative partnerships and interdisciplinary collaborations.

 

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

The College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (A&S) remains the historical and intellectual foundation of the University of Virginia.

 

The largest of UVA’s 12 schools, A&S offers more than 50 undergraduate degrees and concentrations and more than 25 graduate degree programs. It educates 70% of all of the University’s undergraduate students (conferring upwards of 2,500 degrees each year), trains a quarter of the graduate students, appoints 60% of the tenure-track faculty and houses the core disciplines upon which UVA’s academic reputation is built.
