Office of the Provost

The Office of the Provost is at the core of academic administration and planning at William & Mary.  The Provost is the chief academic officer for the College and oversees our five schools - Arts & Sciences, Education, Marshall-Wythe School of Law, Mason School of Business, and Marine Science/VIMS. The Provost works closely with the President, senior management team and Board of Visitors to effectively plan and manage the College's strategic planning efforts, strengthen William & Mary as a leading liberal arts university in the 21st century, and build a new financial model for the College.

A priority of the Provost's responsibilities is on nurturing our world-class faculty and working with them to foster an environment that stimulates their teaching and research efforts, with a focus on student achievement in the classroom and research lab.

A team of exemplary vice provosts, deans and highly specialized administrators are part of the Provost's Office, and each brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and commitment to excellence that has been part of William & Mary's reputation for over 300 years.
