At Mason, we believe in inclusivity over exclusivity.
That’s why we’re ranked as the most ethnically diverse public university in Virginia, and 7th in the United States. We welcome students from 130 countries. We enroll and graduate the mid-Atlantic region’s largest population of Hispanic and Asian students. And we’re a champion of individuality and expression.
We are All Together Different.
Our top priority is to provide you with access to exceptional faculty and quality academic programs that promote growth as an individual, scholar, and career-ready professional.
