George Mason University Reviews of Master's in Education

"College was a great time to explore a variety of things that you never thought you might be interested in. Branch out and enjoy!"

"Unlimited opportunities, fast paced, values students who can embrace independence."

"I feel like my Masters was not academically challenging and didn't really further my knowledge to the degree I felt that it would."

"I found the education, specifically the special education, program easy. The master's level work was more undergraduate level and teacher's graded easy. I learned a bit just because the area was new to me, but I wouldn't say I was challenged. My first master's was much harder, much more challenging, and more worth the money."

"A good cohort program with local school districts for teachers."

"I enjoyed my time at this school. I found the undergraduate history program there very insightful."

"The professors and accessibility network of support are superior in my opinion. I am half way through my graduate degree in MEd with License in ECSE. I have had only one teacher that I would rate less than par. My student adviser is committed and generous with her time. Course materials are never older than 2010 copyright and thus current in research based practices most current. Weaknesses I would say that the counseling services are very poor in my opinion, however Office of Disability Services could use additional support but is exemplary overall. I think the accessible and general student parking is a drag and weakness. The location is not great and the campus is less than stellar in looks. Some buildings are very old and outdated with small rooms and cramped feeling. However my school recently relocated to a new building I find great. They have the Thomas Haggai and Associates Scholarship for my program, which has allowed me to attend graduate school despite the need to re-apply each year. I would prefer to qualify for this additional years if my GPA was kept high. This would be a weakness."

"George Mason has been a terrific school to go to as a Graduate student because it allows me to work in school districts that I would like to teach in upon graduation. As an Undergraduate student it lacked the same fun, "college town" atmosphere that most students look for. The faculty at GMU, especially those in the New Century College Program, are phenomenal teachers and human beings. They go out of their way to help you achieve all that you can both personally and academically. The Elementary Education program is filled with teachers who are passionate and extremely knowledgeable about effective teaching practices. I would highly recommend this Graduate School program."
