The Office of Academic and Career Services provides information and resources to students considering graduate school, including law school and medical school.
Graduate School Resources
Many UMW students choose to attend graduate school after graduation. Sometimes previous experience is required before a graduate program will consider your application. Students who are most happy with their graduate school experience have thoroughly explored their degree program and have a clear idea of how the degree fits into their career plans. Our LinkedIn group has friends and alumni of the University of Mary Washington who are willing to discuss their graduate degree programs and careers.
