George Mason University


George Mason University has emerged as a major university in the state and in the nation. Its development has been shaped in response to the educational needs of an extraordinary cosmopolitan constituency. By emphasizing high technology, public policy, and the fine and performing arts, the university has formed links with the community by meeting the community needs while simultaneously taking advantage of the best the region has to offer in people and resources.

George Mason's innovative programs and visionary outlook have attracted a faculty of world-renowned scholars and teachers. Enrollment is now over 22,000 students studying in more than 100 degree programs at the undergraduate, master's, doctoral, and professional levels. Located in Northern Virginia, George Mason is convenient to all the resources of the nation's capital and the greater Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Clustered on 583 wooded acres near the city of Fairfax, the university's main campus combines the quiet of a suburban setting with accessibility to Washington's libraries, galleries, and museums; Virginia's historic sites; and Fairfax County's high-technology firms. Metrorail, the Washington area's subway system, enables GMU riders to reach the U.S. Capitol in 35 minutes.
