William & Mary Proudly Welcomes Active Duty Students & Veterans
Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business is at the heart of one of the most military-dense regions in the United States. Because of this, we are uniquely positioned to understand and support the invaluable contributions that active duty service members and military veterans can make to our university community. That's why we strive to offer programs that are conveniently accessible online, along with a host of additional accommodations to support the educational goals of our servicemen and women in all branches of our military.
Top-Ranked Military Friendly School
We have been designated a Military Friendly School by Military Friendly®. We have also been recognized as one of the nation’s top institutions for military and veteran students, earning a #2 ranking among graduate schools in the 2025-2026 Military Friendly® School survey.1 This designation demonstrates our deep commitment to our nation’s active duty service members and military veterans. We believe that supporting veterans in their pursuit of education not only betters their own lives—it also betters the nation, helping us to prosper for generations to come.
Center for Military Transition
The Raymond A. Mason School of Business’ Center for Military Transition (CMT) is a national leader in helping veterans like you transition into a successful civilian life in high-level management positions. Programs offered through the CMT help mitigate the challenges you may face as a transitioning service member and as a graduate business student.
Programs offered by the CMT include:
Flourishing Through Life Transitions
This program is a Veteran-to-Executive (W&M VET) certificate program that emphasizes wellness and self-discovery. Open to veterans and members of the intelligence community, this program aims to help you transition to a high-level civilian management position while flourishing in your career and personal life.
Veteran Mentorship Program
The William & Mary Veteran Mentorship Program (VMP) connects student veterans in meaningful ways to William & Mary alumni, allies and veterans to identify and pursue viable pathways to their next chapter of service. Designed to augment what our student veterans learn in the classroom, the program explicitly connects our students to meaningful career opportunities through the power of relationships and the Tribe.
