Abstract
Located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, situated between the nation’s capital and the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the University of Mary Washington (UMW) is a public, co-educational, and predominately four-year liberal arts and sciences institution. The university is committed to the shared values in our ASPIRE principles: accountability, scholarship, personal and institutional integrity, respect and civility, and engagement. Founded in 1908, UMW has evolved from a normal and industrial school for women to a university that offers 48 majors, 44 minors, and 3 graduate programs. In fall 2023, UMW enrolled 3,611 undergraduates and 197 graduate students. Fifty-five percent of the students reside in on-campus housing. Ten percent of the student body is from out of state, and 40% identify as racially or ethnically diverse. Seventy percent of the faculty are full-time; classes are taught by faculty or adjunct experts in the field; and the faculty-student ratio is 13:1.
