Mission Statement
George Mason University is pursuing four complementary paths: creation of a strong and vital undergraduate program to ensure the full development of its students; anticipation of the needs of the future through an emphasis on high technology; exposition of the public-policy implications of new societal directions; and promotion of the cultural life of its students and the region through an emphasis on the performing arts and humanities. The university views research as an integral part of the educational enterprise, involving both students and the faculty.
