The Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University prepares undergraduate and graduate students to be leaders and managers who advance the public good in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Schar School faculty members seek to push the frontiers of conventional wisdom, apply rigorous analysis to complex issues, and make deep connections with decision-makers and leaders in public service. Located where policy happens—just 6 miles from the U.S. Capitol Building—students are connected to jobs, internships, networking, and experiences that can only be found in the Washington, D.C., area.
