Online Admissions at the Raymond A. Mason School of Business

The Raymond A. Mason School of Business offers three unique start dates for the Online MBA, MS in Business Analytics, Foundations in Business Analytics certificate, Master of Accounting and MS in Finance programs throughout the year (spring, summer and fall) and two annual start dates (spring and fall) for the Online Master’s in Marketing program. The finance certificates offer one annual start date each: the Investment Management certificate starts in the fall, and the Corporate Finance certificate starts in the summer.

The Online Admissions Committee reviews applications for each of these programs on a rolling basis as they are completed. Apply by the priority deadline for earlier consideration for scholarships, and to receive a decision from the committee sooner.

For those dynamic business professionals who are driven to face challenges that demand an out-of-the-box approach, the Raymond A. Mason School of Business at William & Mary offers unique online degrees in Virginia that can help you make a difference and redefine what it means to be a successful leader.

• For all online degree and certificate programs, you must hold a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from a regionally accredited college or university
• All programs, with the exception of the Online Master of Accounting and certificate programs, require two years of professional work experience 

We are committed to holistically evaluating applicants and considering all aspects of their professional and academic backgrounds. We value data, but we know that you are more than a test score. For online students, demonstrated success in professional careers is a key indicator of their ability to succeed in an online program.

For this reason, we do not require GMAT or GRE scores for admission. Applicants may, however, submit scores for consideration if they believe that doing so will be beneficial to their application.

The Raymond A. Mason School of Business is pleased to welcome students from all nations and academic backgrounds, including those with academic training in the military.

International applicants must have successfully completed the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree to be eligible for admission to the William & Mary online business programs. To apply to either program, you will need to submit copies of both your academic record and either the diploma or other documentation indicating the date and conferral of your degree. If the original language of the academic record and diploma is not English, a certified English translation must accompany the original document, and the translation should be literal rather than interpretive. If a certified copy of the original transcript is submitted, the institution from which the degree was received must certify it. Documents certified by a notary public are not acceptable. Credentials must include the following information:

• Years of attendance, courses taken, grades achieved, degree, diploma or certificate awarded and date of conferral
• If you were provided with only one official copy of your transcript, you may submit a photocopy. If you are admitted, you will be required to submit the original to the Online Admissions Office for authentication.

The Evaluation Company (TEC) is our recommended international transcript evaluation service. They have created a custom application for William & Mary Online that will ensure you select the right kind of evaluation at a discounted rate. You can access their application here.

International applicants must have a TOEFL score of at least 100 if internet-based, 250 if computer-based or 600 if paper-based, or an IELTS score of at least 6.5. Exemptions may be granted for applicants who have earned a degree from an accredited U.S. institution or lived and worked full-time in a predominantly English-speaking country for the past two years.

William & Mary’s Institution Code for TOEFL is 6987.
