Strategic Partnerships

The College of Engineering and Computing has strong partnerships with institutions, agencies, and companies to provide opportunities and access to prospective engineering and computing students.

University of Mary Washington, Pre-Master’s Program

UMW students have opportunity to pursue an accelerated path to a CEC master’s degree through the UMW/CEC Pre-Master’s Program. Through this program, UMW students may earn graduate level credits from George Mason and apply those as electives towards their UMW undergraduate degree and future master’s degree. Upon graduation from UMW, students apply directly to the CEC master’s program with up to 9 graduate level credits completed.  

Gen Next Education

Gen Next Education provides professional services and prospective student support for graduate recruiting efforts in India through recruitment tours, events, strategic planning, engagement and networking. In collaboration with Gen Next Education, CEC offers multiple masterclasses on specific research areas/topics related to engineering and computing, as well as program-specific knowledge sessions for prospective graduate students through their virtual platform, gradED.  

1+1 Master’s Program

Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain and the College of Engineering and Computing offers a 1+1 MS program to select UPM students. Students benefit from earning two Master’s degrees, one from UPM and a second degree from George Mason University. Upon completion of their first semester at UPM, students enroll in a CEC graduate master’s program to complete their final year.  

2+2 Undergraduate Transfer Program
