About the University and the Region
George Mason University is the largest and most diverse public
research university in Virginia, with an enrollment of more than
40,000 students studying in over 200 degree programs. Mason is an
innovative, entrepreneurial institution with national distinction
in a range of academic fields. It was classified as an R1 research
institution in 2016 by the Carnegie Classifications of Institutes
of Higher Education. The university has campuses in Fairfax,
Arlington, and Prince William County. Its proximity to Washington,
D.C. provides unmatched geographical access to federal agencies and
national laboratories. Northern Virginia is also home to one of the
largest concentrations of high-tech firms in the nation, providing
excellent opportunities for interaction with industry. The region
is consistently rated as being among the best places to live in the
country and has an outstanding local public school system.
About the Future
In conjunction with Amazon's decision to establish a second
headquarters in Northern Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia
announced a multi-year plan to invest in the growth of degree
programs in computing. As a result, Mason has committed to
accelerate its plans to grow its capacity in computing and
high-tech fields. Among the university's exciting initiatives are
the launch of the Institute for Digital Innovation-a university
think tank and incubator to serve the digital economy-and the
expansion of Mason Square home to its Arlington facilities. In
2025, Fuse a new 355,000 square foot building, will open to
students, faculty, and research teams. This net-zero facility will
house the Institute for Digital Innovation, state-of the-art
classrooms, labs, and collaborative spaces. It will also include
retail space, and leasing opportunities for local businesses. These
initiatives reflect hundreds of millions of dollars in new
investment by Mason that will rapidly elevate the university's
already leading national position in computing and related
areas.
