Areas for Business Connections

Interdisciplinary graduate programs in Applied Science leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are offered by the faculty of Applied Science.

W&M, a bioinformatics company named INCOGEN, and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech are focusing collaboratively on three interrelated research areas. In addition, the department of Applied Science at W&M offers undergraduate minors in computational biology and materials science.

William & Mary maintains a comprehensive program in the life sciences, with strong faculty and student scholarship and graduate research in the areas of biology, chemistry, applied science and marine science. These departments and schools, working independently and in collaboration, have developed a program that advances key fields of research in the life sciences and human health research.

William & Mary was one of the first schools in the United States oriented toward business. Today the Mason School of Business offers graduate programs including a resident MBA program, an executive MBA program, and evening MBA program, a joint MBA/JD program, a joint MBA/MPP program and an undergraduate BBA program.

Faculty, students, and staff of the W&M Program in Public Policy conduct numerous evaluation studies related to health services and the delivery of health care. The Program has investigated both public and private sector issues in the delivery of those services and has developed recommendations to improve their availability and quality.
