Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
- A thesis is optional. Students on the thesis track must complete an original thesis approved by the student\'s advisory committee and defended in an oral examination.
- There is no qualifying or comprehensive exam requirement.
- All graduate students who were required to take the TOEFL exam for admission will also be required to take courses on written or spoken English (listed as COL in the Graduate Course Catalog) as recommended by the Graduate Center. A student and his/her adviser can jointly petition the Academic Progress Committee to waive this requirement.
- There is no foreign language requirement for native English-speakers.
- See the Graduate Regulations.
- To be eligible to graduate, all students must achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in all courses undertaken for graduate credit at William & Mary after admission to a degree program.
- A student in the Department must maintain a B average in order to remain in good standing.
- A student who receives a grade of C+ (2.3) or lower in a course may repeat that course one time for credit, upon approval of both the instructor of the course and the graduate director for the student\'s program.
- When such a repeat attempt is approved, the grades for both attempts will count in the cumulative GPA, but only the most recent attempt will count toward the degree. No credit toward a degree will be allowed for a course in which a student receives a grade below C (grade point = 2.0).
