Tuition & Fees
NOTE: this page will be kept as up-to-date as possible, but William & Mary may decide at any time to change tuition rates for upcoming semesters. Contact the [[wehutt, Post-baccalaureate Program Director]] for the latest information on tuition rates.
As an institution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, William & Mary has differential tuition for students who are residents of Virginia and those who are not (see below on what being a "resident of Virginia" entails; it's more than just living in Virginia). Currently the rates are as follows:
$3,250 per semester for in-state students and
$6,250 per semester for out-of-state students.
Our tuition rates cover up to 11 credit hours per semester. This generally means up to 3 regular semester courses (which are usually 3 or 4 credits) plus one or two extra courses that earn 1 credit, such as the post-baccalaureate proseminar or a teaching practicum in the department. Audited courses count toward the 11-credit limit.
Since they do not pay university fees in addition to tuition, post-baccalaureate students do not have some privileges, such as access to the Student Health Center. Post-baccalaureate students must also find their own housing within the community. Although the Department cannot assist in finding housing or part-time employment, helpful information about the local housing market can be found on the William & Mary Off-Campus Housing webpage. Financial aid, including scholarships, fellowships, and work-study positions is currently not available for this program, although the department usually has funds to help post-baccalaureate students pursue opportunities for summer research, study, and archaeological excavation.
Qualifying for In-State Tuition: If you are a Virginia resident and wish to apply for in-state tuition privileges, please visit the In-State Residency site. This site will give you more information about what constitutes residency and has a link to a form you will need to submit to establish residency for tuition purposes. Any questions you may have, please contact domicile@wm.edu.
