Scientific Community

While other Universities talk about placing students into such exciting environments, our goal is not only to prepare graduate students to pursue careers in either academics or industry, but we are positioned to provide the experience while in our unique graduate school.

The resources within the internal and external community surrounding George Mason are unparalled in the world. Most importantly, George Mason is committed to maintaining a fluid, open boundary with its vibrant scientific community, encompassing the world's leading scientific research institutions as well as industry leaders.

George Mason has well-established networks with such institutions as the National Institutes of Health and its projects such as the Human Genomes Project, The Smithsonian Institutions, including the Laboratory of Molecular Systematics; The Georgetown University, NASA; The Carnagie Institute; and the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area which permits students the flexibility to take courses from any of the 12 area colleges and universities.

Moreover, George Mason has successful partnerships with industry giants in Biotechnology firms such as American Type Cultures (ATCC); the Institute of Genetic Research (TIGR); Genetics and IVF Institute. GMU is uniquely positioned to provide unparalled internships and research opportunities.
