Chinese graduates from GMU Korea receive same degree as home campus in USA

George Mason University (GMU) Korea, located at Incheon Global Campus, is a global campus of George Mason University which is the largest state university in Virginia, the United States. GMU was recognized as an 'Up-and-coming school' by the U.S. News & World Report for five consecutive years and ranked in the first place in 2008 and 2013. Out of the eight semester curriculum, GMU Korea students are required to take their sixth and seventh semester at the home campus in Fairfax, Virginia. Students from Fairfax can also take courses at the global campus in Korea. Admission requirements for the global campus are the same as the Fairfax campus criteria for international students, making it possible for students at Mason Korea to receive the equal U.S. diploma.

GMU Korea currently holds seven undergraduate programs towards Chinese student applicants: Management, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Global Affairs, Conflict Analysis and Resolution, and Computer Game Design. The Economics major has two Nobel Prize winning faculty, James M. Buchanan and Vernon Smith. The Economist, the most-read economic magazine, also nominated economics professor 'Tyler Cowen' as 'One of the most influential economists in the last decade'. Management, Finance, and Accounting courses are accredited as the top 5% business program in the world by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business(AACSB), the world’s largest education network of advanced business institutions. GMU’s Conflict Analysis and Resolution’s program holds the largest size and oldest history in the world. The program ranked first place among all “2018 U.S. University Conflict Resolution and Arbitration Curriculum”, by Schools.com, an American university ranking system.

GMU Korea plans to include Chinese students and more international students into its campus through a College Transfer Program. The university also offers students internships at government organizations, private corporations, NGOs, and more. In the same line, class projects allow students to gain on-hand field and job experience. After graduation, the Chinese students studied at GMU Korea have the opportunity to enroll graduate schools at U.S. prestige universities through the Graduate Pathway Program. UC Irvine has signed the pathway agreement with GMU Korea and University of Southern California is in the process.
