Application Requirements
Applicants to all graduate programs at George Mason University must meet the admission standards and application requirements for graduate study as specified in the Admissions section of this catalog. In addition applicants must have an overall GPA of at least 3.0 and submit the following:
- College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) Accelerated Master’s Program Application Form
- Goal Statement (750-1000 words)
- Three letters of recommendation from former or current employers or university professors, targeting work experiences and academic abilities.
Accelerated Option Requirements
During their senior year, accelerated master’s students complete three to six graduate credits in consultation with the academic program coordinator that apply to both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. These courses are considered advanced standing for the Master’s. A minimum grade of B must be earned to be eligible to count as advanced standing. While still in undergraduate status, accelerated master’s students may take up to six graduate credits that are reserve graduate credit and therefore, are applicable to the Master’s but do not count toward the undergraduate degree. Early in their final undergraduate semester, students must submit the Bachelor’s/Accelerated Master’s Transition Form to the CEHD Admissions Office and specify which courses are to be designated as advanced standing and reserve graduate credit.
