NOTES:

  • Programs that begin in the summer pay tuition per credit hour and that tuition is in addition to the fall/spring totals listed above.
  • There is an additional,  one-time LiveText Fee of $150 (not included in the tuition and fees listed above). LiveText is a web-based document creation and storage system that provides School of Education students the ability to store, maintain, and publish a professional career portfolio that can be accessed for up to five years after graduation.​
  • For students in all master's level counseling programs, there is an additional, on-time fee Supervision Assist of $197 (not included in the tuition and fees listed above).  Supervision Assist will provide students in the counseling program the benefit of being able to search for fieldwork sites that have worked with W&M in the past, making it easier for students to find and secure these important placements. Supervision Assist also allows for real time monitoring of student field progress, allowing for better guidance for students in their field placements. The students also maintain access to this program after graduation, allowing them to collect and certify data regarding their post-graduate field experiences, which are required for most forms of counseling licensure.  

Summer tuition is charged per credit hour.
