Welcome to Mason Nation
Our campuses aren’t just for students. We consider ourselves part of the community, and we like it when our neighbors come to call. Visitor parking is available, and our campuses are accessible by public transportation. As a top-tier research university, center of excellence in business, economics, and international relations, and focal point for the arts, exciting things happen here every day.
Mason welcomes visitors from throughout the region and across the globe on a daily basis. We pride ourselves on our heritage and mandate as a public university. We encourage participation in many on-campus activities.
On any given week on one of our campuses, you'll find engaging intellectual chats, networking events, career resource activities, healthy recreation, children’s workshops and more.
