“My daughter Wren chose Mason, because of the abundant resources that Mason has to offer. With being in close proximity to Washington, D.C., for job opportunities to various study abroad programs, Mason has allowed Wren to become eager for new adventures. I remind her that the whole world is open to her for opportunities and I’m enjoying the benefit of watching her become independent as a college student. She reminds me how having our family as a support system for her throughout her college career is integral.”
Academic Quality
Mason graduates are critical thinkers, sought after by employers and graduate schools alike. Through one of the top five Writing in the Disciplines programs in the U.S., and extensive living and learning, experiential learning, and study abroad programs, our graduates don’t just process knowledge, they assess, react, and create! While many older, traditional institutions are trying to adapt to this urgent need, at Mason it is the center of our faculty recruitment and curricular development.
Student Life
Mason provides students a small-school feel with the resources of a larger university. Our proximity to Washington, D.C., offers additional cultural, academic and career opportunities. State-of-the-art residence halls, home to more than 6,000 students, have Wi-Fi, free laundry facilities, and card-key access for safety. Our flexible meal plans make dining options healthy and fun.
Talk to a Counselor
Contact the Admissions Counselor who reads for your student’s high school . Our counselors travel the country and the world to meet prospective students, so be sure to check out visit schedules to see if we’ll be in your town for a high school visit or college fair.
George Mason University is excited to welcome you to our Mason Nation family, and appreciates your confidence in our ability to help our students reach their fullest potential.
