It is interesting that physics is specifically in the name of the school. Physics doesn't usually get that much attention.

Do W&M applicants apply for admission to particular schools? As in, does a student now have to choose between A&S and this new school if they are undecided among the new school's departments and those in A&S?

Part of the future of computers is Quantum Computers. The fields also share a lot of math

No, they’d declare/apply in soph. :

“Undergraduate candidates will not apply to the school directly. W&M second-year students in good standing will be able to enter the school as long as they meet criteria established by the school and the major, and will continue to have the opportunity to double major or minor in areas offered by other W&M programs.”

Thanks for posting. My CS sophomore chose UMD over WM. Loving CP, but wonder if decision would have been different if this school was in existence then.

I think the goal is to continue to grow W&M's soft-engineering EPAD degree

Indeed. W&M does have a storing physics program!

Insanely impressive qualifications. Looks like W&M is geared to become extremely strong in CS and Data Science especially

Nothing about it seems that interesting or unique from much more formative data science and computer science departments. Behind with the times.

Because I'm sure you're just SO knowledgeable on that. An Associate in "Keyboard Warrior-ing" sure means a lot more today I guess.

Are you offering yourself as knowledgeable?
Yes I think an individual with a PhD in computational physics can derive meaning from a press statement. My lord you people are arrogant.
