A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
George Mason University has joined the American Talent Initiative, a collaboration of the nation’s top 120 four-year institutions with a shared goal of enrolling, supporting and graduating 50,000 additional talented, lower-income students across high-graduation rate colleges and universities by 2025.
The initiative is a collaboration with the Aspen Institute’s College Excellence Program, Ithaka S+R and multiple colleges and universities with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies. All institutions in the initiative must already have a 70 percent graduation rate for their students within six years.
A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
Mason offers two distinctly different degree completion programs designed specifically for adult transfer students. Each of these programs are structured to meet the demands of part-time working adults who have completed some college-level coursework and wish to finish their bachelor’s degree. Courses are offered on-campus and on-line.
