College of Engineering and Computing Graduate Faculty

Several categories of graduate faculty exist at George Mason University. Current Mason tenured and tenure-track faculty are automatically granted active graduate faculty status and maintain that status throughout their employment as tenure-line faculty. Please see the list of CEC’s tenured and tenure-track graduate faculty below. CEC and Provost-appointed non-tenured/tenure-track graduate faculty can be found in the database located on the Provost’s Office website.
