Why Randolph’s Model Matters

Randolph expects intellectual courage—students take seminars outside comfort zones because TAKE4 lowers the marginal cost of exploration. International students should align CPT internships with DSO timelines early.

Global And Career Opportunities

Lynchburg anchors healthcare, education and manufacturing internships, while Richmond and D.C. are drivable for summer roles when housing is arranged.

How To Make The Most Of Randolph

Students should:

• Present research at the annual symposium
• Complete two internships before senior year
• Join one academic society for discipline-specific networking
• Use January term courses if offered for concentrated skill builds

Randolph rewards students who treat the fifth course as a strategic accelerator, not a freebie.
