You're not one-dimensional, so why should your education be?

At William & Mary, we want you to explore and develop your strengths and talents -- in business and beyond. Our Individual Program of Study approach gives you the freedom and support to design a program that fits who you are, and prepares you to shape the world.

That's how we're different.

While other business schools tell you what you should do, we challenge our students to imagine what they can do with their business education:

Study in more than one area of business. Major in one business field and concentrate in another field (Marketing major with a concentration in Process Management & Consulting).
Combine business with the Arts & Sciences on campus. Double major or minor in another field on campus. 30% of our business majors pursue a double major.
Study Abroad - and internationalize your Business Education. We have redesigned our business curriculum so that each major can study abroad the spring semester of their junior year and still graduate on time.
Internships, Career Planning, and Graduate School. From summer internships to getting you ready for graduate school or your first job, our Career Center can help you find the opportunity you're looking for.
Faculty Mentoring and Research Opportunities. Students may develop and pursue research projects for academic credit according to their interests and under the guidance of the faculty.
Leadership Experiences. Across campus and within the business school, our students can lead organizations of their interest.

Student & Faculty Connections

: "I appreciate the flexibility of the business school. I thought I’d go into marketing when I started the business school, but instead I ended up double majoring in Accounting and English, studying abroad, and still being able to graduate on time. You hear a lot about pressure in the corporate world to become a certain stereotype of workaholic success, but the environment here pushes everyone to pursue whatever they’re passionate about – and to keep things balanced. The small classes and close relationships with professors are pretty amazing."
