Executive Education











Executive Education at George Mason University School of Public Policy

Customized Programs
Convenient, flexible and custom-designed for individual public and private sector organizations, School of Public Policy programs are taught by leading practitioners and academics. These offerings can be directed either toward senior or mid-level executives.

The faculty of practitioners and academics is acutely attuned to the needs and concerns of the specific clientele being served. For each customized program, we recruit the best, most appropriate experts to teach and interact with participants. View a list of partners.
