The Charles Center serves as William & Mary’s hub for transformative undergraduate research across disciplines. We believe students learn best when they are actively engaged in discovery, working closely with faculty mentors and applying ideas beyond the classroom.
What the Charles Center supports
- Mentored research across the arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences
- Journalism initiatives and research-centered internships
- Collaboration with faculty and external partners
Each year, thousands of students share discoveries through conferences, seminars, fieldwork and research-based study-away experiences. Nearly 1,000 students benefit annually through scholars and honors programs, including Monroe Scholars, WMSURE Scholars, 1693 Scholars, Sharpe Scholars and Honors students.
