Research & Scholarship
Because it takes a research university.
William & Mary is a fully formed university making our share of a university's contributions to the creation of knowledge — research and scholarship.
Our research culture places an emphasis on quality, selectivity and innovation. Our size fosters both collaboration and efficiency. We're big enough to contribute effectively to many of the solutions of problems at national and global levels, yet small enough to keep overhead costs from ballooning.
The scale of our research operation is ideal for the development of collaborations.
Our collaborative philosophy extends to the involvement of undergraduates in research at the highest levels. It's quite common at William & Mary to find projects on which professors, post-docs, graduate students and undergraduates all work together — great illustrations of our research.
