College of William & Mary

We're the second-oldest institution of higher learning in the country, and a cutting-edge research university.

Building on more than 300 years of innovation and excellence, William & Mary transcends the boundaries between research and teaching, teaching and learning, learning and living. As a "Public Ivy" — one of only eight in the nation — we offer a world-class education at an exceptional value.

Our students are not only some of the smartest in the world, but passionate about serving others and serious about having fun. Our professors are teachers, scholars and research mentors, the cornerstone of a thriving intellectual community that produces experienced, engaged, successful graduates.

Through their strengths, passions and knowledge, our faculty, students and staff are creating a new model of sustainability for higher education.
