Williams on the Higher Education Program:
"I first decided to attend the College of William and Mary for the Master's degree in Higher Education and later began the Doctoral program in order to pursue my passion for research in international higher education. The faculty, students, and staff are so welcoming and the history of the institution creates a wonderful atmosphere to learn about higher education.  I love that the curriculum allows you the flexibility to explore and develop your areas of interest, which makes for a diverse cohort."
