Short History of the University 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. 2
