Overview

William & Mary is the second oldest college in America and one of only eight “Public Ivy” institutions, offering an excellent education and still remaining accessible to everyone. It was chartered in 1693 by King William III and Queen Mary II of England, founded the nation’s first academic Greek society in 1776, gave birth to America’s first Honor Code and graduated four U.S. presidents. A number of historical attractions exist on its campus, including the oldest college building in America – the Sir Christopher Wren building.
