My name is Chad Murphy I'm a professor
in the political science and
international affairs department.
Students should come to UMW for a couple of
reasons, the first being the interaction
they will get with their professors.
Many schools you'll have introductory classes
with 300 students, you don't really get
to know the professor, you maybe are
taught mostly by graduate students.
That doesn't happen here at UMW.
You have smaller classes, your largest class
would probably be 50 to 60 students, you
get to work with the professors, they
know you by name, they know your
strengths, they know what's great about
you, and they're really able to help you
both in college and after. They can help
you get into graduate schools, they can
help place you in careers and give you
that personalized attention that you
won't get at many universities.
