The class visit program is designed to supplement our campus tours and information sessions. By sitting in on a real William & Mary class, students can experience first hand why William & Mary consistently ranks among the nation's top universities in commitment to undergraduate teaching. Due to the small nature of so many of our classes, visit opportunities are limited and only classes with available seats will appear on the registration page.

Sign up for a class visit at William & Mary

There are six, pre-approved class sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the fall semester. If you are interested in visiting a class on Monday or Friday, you are welcome to participate in our Tribe Shadow program that includes a class visit and lunch with a current William & Mary student. The below classes are available:

• Tuesdays: International Political Economy and Greek Art & Archaeology
• Wednesdays: British Literature I and Human Anatomy
• Thursdays:  International Political Economy and Greek Art & Archaeology
