Introduction
The University of Mary Washington publishes two academic catalogs, one for the College of Arts and Sciences, and one
for the College of Graduate and Professional Studies. These catalogs include official announcements of academic programs
and major policies. Detailed policies of admission, financial aid, student life, and academic affairs are published annually in separate documents, which may be obtained from the administrative offices responsible for those areas.
Students are responsible for knowing the policies of the University of Mary
Washington.
Although the listing of courses in this catalog indicates the content and
scope of the curriculum, changes do occur, and the actual offerings may differ
from those indicated in preliminary announcements. Because programs and
policies change from time to time according to procedures established by
the faculty and administration of the University, statements in this catalog
do not constitute an actual or implied contract between the student and the
University.
The University of Mary Washington is accredited by the Commission
on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award
baccalaureate and master’s degrees.
