The proximity to Washington DC encourages campus diversity as well as academic, intern, and career opportunities.

Excellent program with caring professors who make time for students!

Pros: very work-oriented, practical, good use of technology, great faculty. Cons: No complains.

A good balance of online and on campus learning. Professors are very helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. Good quality of education. The cons... the program did not offer the class that I think is essential and I tried to arrange in through independent studies but it was impossible to do.So the program is not flexible enough.

I am well pleased with the program, professors and courses, but I am greatly disturbed that our school does not offer grants or scholarships to graduate students. This seems to go against the very reason we pursue high education.

The counseling and development program at GMU has a big focus on social justice, multiculturalism, and advocacy. I am proud to be in a program that trains student to think outside the box and really push barriers that clients may face. I think that this program really prepares you to work with diverse populations which is a good skill to have.

GMU includes innovation as part of their vision, and this was a major factor in my choosing to go there. There is definitely an aura of progress and future thinking there that I am proud to be a part of. Traffic is absurd in Northern Virginia, and the cost of living is somewhat high, but GMU seems to have been very considerate with many infrastructure improvement projects. Without a doubt a university that is looking ahead.

Wonderful partnerships with surrounding schools and excellent professors. The surrounding area is very expensive and very crowded

Pros- the many aspects and diversity of the program.

With respect to my program of study, I feel that all classes need to have field experience. Having a filed experience (i.e. each class having set aside a specific number of hours to go work in the school system) is a great exposure. Unfortunately only some classes have that. Apart from that it I have great professors, counselors and involvement in the campus.

Pros - teachers are knowledgeable, classmates are supportive, classes are engaging Cons - not enough social activities, program offered only on Fairfax campus

The Education school is really reputable, especially in competitive Fairfax County, but as a grad student and living off-campus I am not invited to any campus events and have not met any people outside of class meetings. The location is really great though; right outside of DC and there is plenty to do in Fairfax. However the social scene for a grad student is low and the area is expensive.

This is my first semester with GMU, still learning a lot about this college. I enjoy going to school and the instructors are very helpful.

U.S. News and World Report have it right. Mason is the number one up and coming school.
