Hear From Your Classmates

Real Students. Real Outcomes. Real Transformation.

“If you have the desire to pursue the goal, pursue the goal. Everybody here is willing to help you out. Everyone here wants you to succeed. It’s just a matter of you taking that step into this program to start achieving your goals.”
— Carlos C., Online MBA Candidate ’27

“The faculty took time to create these online programs so that you still feel a part of the Tribe. It seems like it was well thought out, and they had me in mind.”
– Shannon S., Online MS in Accounting Candidate ’26

“It’s been so rewarding to be able to take the learnings from each and every course and apply them to a real-world problem that we’re working on.”
– Will P., Online MS in Marketing ’25

“I mentioned that I wanted to go to a Big Four firm. William & Mary has its own Ernst & Young recruiter. They sponsor the Career Center. They connected me with a managing director who immediately set up a call with me and had two of his senior managers take me out to lunch. They very proactively made the outreach to me, and it’s because he was a William & Mary alum.”
– Steve O., Master of Accounting Candidate ’26

While You’re in Williamsburg

Williamsburg has a lot more to offer than beautiful colonial architecture (though there’s plenty of that, too). From Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens to local restaurants and waterfront parks, plan to make a weekend of it.

William & Mary Traditions & History

330 Years of Tradition—and Now You’re Part of It

William & Mary isn’t just a university. It’s the second-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, founded in 1693. George Washington received his surveyor’s license here. Thomas Jefferson walked these halls. And now, so will you.

Becoming a member of the Tribe means joining a tradition that stretches across centuries, and a community that takes that legacy seriously.

A few of our favorite traditions:

The Crim Dell Bridge

Legend has it that if you cross Crim Dell Bridge with someone and don’t kiss them, you’ll never graduate. We’ll leave that one up to you, but the bridge is unmistakably beautiful, and worth a visit when you’re on campus for Residency.

The Yule Log Ceremony

Each winter, students gather for the Yule Log Ceremony, a beloved tradition rooted in W&M history. Online students who join us for events in Williamsburg are always welcome to participate.

Commencement

Graduating students walk across campus together to the ceremony. Picture yourself crossing that stage, surrounded by centuries of history and the cheers of your Tribe. That day is coming.

Show Your Pride

Shop the William & Mary Bookstore

Celebrate your achievement and rep your new home. From W&M hoodies and Mason School of Business gear to coffee mugs, laptop sleeves and more. The bookstore has everything you need to show the world where you belong.
