Transfer Admissions

How is George Mason All Together Different?

An R1 Research Ä¢¹½AV providing Higher Access and Higher Earnings

We became Virginia’s most diverse and highest ranked university for innovation by welcoming all who are prepared for the academic rigor of a Research 1 (R1) university.

Not only have we been recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as one of only 187 R1 (very high research activity) universities in the United States, but we are also part of the foundation’s highest tier for Opportunity Colleges and Schools.

With more than a third of our new students transferring to George Mason from other universities each year, we know what it means to provide the resources and community you need to build the future you want and deserve.
