Sessions for Prospective Students
The college hosts several information sessions for prospective graduate students in person and online throughout the academic year.

Prospective graduate students must meet all the university's requirements and deadlines. Mason alums have the option of pursuing a fast-track admission path.
Upcoming General Information Sessions
Registration for general information sessions open approximately two weeks prior to each event.
