George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government prepares undergraduate and graduate students to be leaders and managers who solve problems and advance the public good in all sectors and levels of government—in the United States and throughout the world. Located where policy happens—just 3 miles from the Pentagon, 4 miles from The White House, and 6 miles from the U.S. Capitol Building—students are connected to jobs, internships, networking, and experiences that can only be found in the Washington, D.C., area.

It’s policy in action. Learning from professors with real-world experience, students gain the applicable skills and the practical knowledge to lead government agencies and nonprofit organizations, develop public policies and programs, create innovate consulting solutions, or provide expert policy analysis.

“The Schar School challenged me to develop real solutions to real policy problems,” says Geoff Schaeffer, a 2010 Public Policy (MPP) graduate. “Then I had to defend those solutions to heavy-hitting practitioners like the former Director of the CIA. This prepared me to have an impact in Washington, D.C., long before I received my diploma.”
