Mason’s Online MBA Voted Among Best for Vets
According to a press release on the George Mason School of Business website, the school’s online Master of Business Administration program tied at No. 31 for best online MBA program for Veterans. This survey of online programs for veterans profiled 737 different universities and colleges.
Mason’s 20-month Global, National Defense, and Critical Infrastructure Protection EMBA programs is offered online, and gives executives and working professionals a world-class business education, without the career interruption of a traditional graduate business degree.
The rankings, compiled by U.S. News & World Report, were determined by examining: Affordability, accessibility, reputation, how much financial assistance is available, which federal aid programs the schools recognize, and faculty credentials.
“Mason values the experience and diversity veterans bring to both the campus and online environment,” said Jennifer Connors, director of Mason’s Office of Military Services. “We are committed to creating a pathway to success for our student veterans.”
GIJobs.com has also named Mason a “Military Friendly” school for the past six years thanks to the school’s commitment to supporting student veterans on campus and in their careers: Mason, with almost 34,000 students, has more than 3,000 military-related students, including active duty, veterans, reservists, guardsmen and dependents.
