INTO Mason: Engineering Graduate Pathways

Graduate International Pathways to master's degrees in the College of Engineering and Computing

INTO Mason provides sixteen Graduate International Pathways for international students to enter various graduate degrees in the College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) at George Mason University. The pathways give students the academic foundation, essential language skills, and cultural knowledge to successfully move on to their master's degree programs. For most students, enrolling in a Graduate International Pathway will add one or two additional semesters to their overall master's degree program.

The following are the available Graduate International Pathways at INTO Mason to degrees in the College of Engineering and Computing at GMU:

• Applied Information Technology
• Bioengineering
• Biostatistics
• Civil and Infrastructure Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Computer Science
• Cyber Security Engineering
• Data Analytics Engineering
• Digital Forensics
• Electrical Engineering
• Information Security and Assurance
• Information Systems
• Operations Research
• Software Engineering
• Statistical Science
• Systems Engineering
• Telecommunications

The following are the types of pathways available:

• One Term pathways (Accelerated): These pathways lead students through their first semester of graduate school. Upon completion of all matriculation requirements, students will move on to their degree-seeking program often with several graduate credits completed as determined by the graduate degree program. All VSE pathways have one-term pathway options available.
• Two Term pathways (Standard): These pathways lead students through their first year of graduate school. Upon completion of all matriculation requirements, students will move on to their degree-seeking program often with several graduate credits completed as determined by the graduate degree program. All VSE pathways have two-term pathway options available.
• Bridge pathways: These pathways provide foundational coursework designed to substitute for an additional year of undergraduate academic coursework, to render students with three-year baccalaureate degrees eligible to move on to their graduate degree programs. Students will often move on to those degree-seeking programs with several graduate credits completed as determined by the graduate degree program. Almost all (14) of the sixteen (16) VSE pathways have Bridge pathway options available (all except Operations Research and Systems Engineering).

Graduate International Pathways are designed for international students who:

• Need further English language development. Students who require a moderate amount of English language support can enter all available Graduate International Pathways to strengthen their language proficiency and ensure their long-term academic success
• Require a fourth year of undergraduate study. Students who hold three-year baccalaureate degrees that are not formally evaluated as equivalent to a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree may enter many Graduate International Pathways. For these students, their pathway acts as a "bridge" enhancing their international educational background with academic coursework to meet the eligibility for admission
• Fall short of meeting the minimum GPA or admission test score requirements
• Need to improve study skills for success in their chosen field of study
• Any or all of the above

Administered through INTO Mason in partnership with the academic units across the university, the courses in the Graduate International Pathways are taught by highly qualified Mason instructional faculty members and supported by International Pathways academic advisors.

Students enrolled in any Graduate International Pathway should review the program's student guidebook for specific details related to program requirements and expectations.
