George Mason University Reviews of Master's in Art & Design

"The Arts Management program is a great addition to George Mason University. Situated in Arlington, it has great access to museums, galleries, and performing arts venues downtown for hands-on learning. However, not all professors take advantage of this and prefer lecture rather than using the assets of the surrounding area."

"George Mason University's graduate program in Arts Management is excellent. You increase your network of arts managers in the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The faculty is knowledgeable and very supportive. If you are an aspiring arts administrator, I encourage you to look further into the program. My graduate experience was second to none!"

"The Master of Fine Arts Program at George Mason University is a rigorous program that challenges students in exciting ways. The Faculty is accessible and engaging with the aim to provide a challenging graduate experience with lessons that will carry on past your time in the program. The proximity to Washington D.C. provides exciting networking opportunities. The School of Art and Visual Technology facilities are excellent."

"George Mason has a solid reputation for quality academic experience and excellent networking potential for students who take advantage of the proximity to the capital's resources. Internship "courses" are built into the Art History curriculum, as well as Museum Studies opportunities. The Art History and History Departments are closely engaged, and offer classes applicable to both tracks of study. Regrettably, GMU only offers a Masters Degree in Art History. However, my experience with the faculty gives me confidence in my chances to secure a position in a PhD program upon completion of my M.A."
