Why the Costello College of Business?

We believe that everyone has the right to an impactful educational experience, to be prepared to encounter the world, and help turn business into a force for good. Join us and leave a Mason Graduate—an engaged citizen and well-rounded scholar who is prepared to act.

In addition to having the federal government in your backyard, the Washington D.C., region is home to government contractors, hundreds of nonprofit organizations, 15 Fortune 500 companies, and hundreds of tech companies where you can apply your classroom knowledge, test career choices, find internships, and make valuable contacts. Learn more about why you should choose the Costello College of Business for your graduate studies.

The values that the business school gives, I think the biggest would be the networking and the people you're going to know. The current company I work at, I met them in Mason. Our current COO came to class and introduced the company. So I would say the trajectory of my career later started from then. The major thing that business school gives you is that kind of broad experience of being able to work at any different industry that you want. The biggest plus I see my return on investment with George Mason is the fact that I know down the line, I can go to any George Mason alum, and they will happily try to lend a hand and I think that's the biggest return on investment. The School of Business at George Mason is diverse in that there's opportunities for entrepreneurs, there's government, and business linking, and so that makes it perfect for DC. What's great about DC is that there's so many different things you can do. We have a metro. We have a million languages being spoken around you. We have skyscrapers. We have it all. The opportunities are here just because we are so close to DC. We are genuinely equipped with everything we need to just go off and thrive.
