Find Your Focus. Shape Your Future.
On Friday, March 13, we’re hosting Majors & Mentors Day. This smaller, immersive experience is centered on your intended major and what your future path at Mary Washington could look like. While Destination UMW is designed for you and your family to experience campus together, Majors & Mentors Day is intentionally student-focused.
If you are interested in pursuing a major in either the College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Business, this day is for you. You’ll be placed into a schedule based on your primary interest, sit in on a real class, meet faculty, explore internships and applied learning opportunities, and hear where our graduates have landed. You’ll also spend time with current students and get an inside look at the spaces where our students learn and collaborate every day.
Would spending time inside your intended major help you feel more confident about your decision? Register now!
