4-VA @ WM
William & Mary (W&M) joined 4-VA in September of 2019. Their recent growth in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields of study and research is robust. The university will be launching a new School of Computing, Data Sciences, and Physics in Fall 2025. In addition, W&M recently established Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees in Data Science and Human Health & Physiology, and they are anticipating the successful Fall 2025 launch of a B.S. in Coastal & Marine Sciences and a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science (B.A./B.S.) in Public Health. Their B.S. in Physics also now boasts a concentration in Engineering Physics and Applied Design. Combining such STEM programs with W&M’s historical focus on the liberal arts provides a unique educational experience through intense interdisciplinary collaboration in classrooms, labs, and field studies that cross departments and schools.
W&M has participated in numerous statewide collaborative efforts, some with very long histories. Examples include our membership in the Virginia Space Grant Consortium, which has provided more than $1.5M in scholarships, fellowships, and research support for students and faculty over the years. W&M has also been part of the Virginia Microelectronics Consortium that has provided core support for numerous programs in condensed matter, device physics, and for materials science faculty and students, leading to a large number of externally funded research grants and contracts. The university’s partnership with the Jefferson Lab and its other affiliated schools has been and continues to be robust. W&M’s student degree completion rate is excellent—95% of entering students continue to the second year. W&M has long-standing articulation agreements with the Virginia Community College System and Richard Bland College, providing transfer students direct pathways to the continuation and completion of their undergraduate degrees.
