Students have plenty of opportunities to pursue their passions — just pick from UMW’s 90+ majors, minors, and areas of study.

At the University of Mary Washington, students will find a friendly, “be-yourself,” public liberal arts and sciences university.

Students might not even notice what’s (intentionally) missing, including:

  • No teaching assistants. Instead: Classes are taught by expert faculty and industry professionals.
  • No football team. Instead: 19 NCAA Division III sports + esports and many club teams
  • No Greek life. Instead: 150+ clubs and student organizations sharing what matters to you

Want to see it for yourself? The next open house is happening on Sat., Nov. 12. 🎓
