The University of Mary Washington and George Mason University have renewed existing partnerships designed to accelerate student success and open the door to additional agreements between the two schools beginning as early as next year.<\/p>\n

The signing ceremony reconfirming the universities\u2019 accelerated degree pathway programs in computer science, engineering and law took place in the Dodd Auditorium foyer in UMW\u2019s George Washington Hall, with provosts, deans and other administrators in attendance.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of work has gone into the efforts to make today what it is,\u201d said UMW Provost Tim O\u2019Donnell, who signed the official document along with George Mason Provost James Antony. \u201cIt\u2019s really a prelude to more work to come, ultimately work that will be good work because it will benefit our students, our faculty and our programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UMW-Accelerated Mason Program graduate pathways permit dual enrollment, allowing Mary Washington students to combine undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, and reducing the time it takes to earn a master\u2019s degree and unlock increased earning potential. They also allow participants to roll tuition and fees into existing financial aid packages, facilitate data sharing between the two schools and ultimately improve student outcomes at both universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, it gives your talented students and our talented students a chance to gain a competitive edge in a field of study by exposing them to advanced skills and knowledge earlier and allowing them to complete their degrees hopefully more quickly,\u201d Antony said. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s what we all really want.\u201d<\/p>\n

During their senior year, approved Mary Washington students can enroll in a master\u2019s program at George Mason\u2019s College of Engineering and Computing<\/a> and earn as many as nine credits of graduate-level coursework. Participants can apply those credits toward both their bachelor\u2019s degree at UMW, as electives, and their master\u2019s degree at George Mason, allowing them to complete a master\u2019s in as little as one additional year. Programs include Applied Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Analytics Engineering, Operations Research, Statistics and Systems Engineering.<\/p>\n

In addition, an accelerated\u00a0\u201c3+3 program\u201d\u00a0allows undergrads who\u2019ve completed three years of study at UMW entrance to George Mason\u2019s\u00a0Antonin Scalia Law School<\/a>\u00a0as full-time, first-year law students, saving a year\u2019s worth of tuition and time.<\/p>\n

The signing ceremony follows a visit to Mary Washington the previous day by George Mason Graduate Recruitment Coordinator Rachel Cameron, who spoke to computer science students and presented an information session in James Farmer Hall. Ali Fakhry, a UMW data science major with a minor in computer science, stopped in to learn more about the UMW-Accelerated Mason Program graduate pathways and how they might help him pursue a master\u2019s degree and a career in machine learning.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s more in the pipeline, the provosts said. The pathway renewal agreement allows for evolution and future connections, with potential for additional partnerships between the two schools in programs like English, history, geography and psychology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe certainly welcome these conversations,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said, \u201cand look forward to continuing to stay engaged with our partners to the north.\u201d<\/p>\n

UMW also has agreements with Virginia universities for programs in medicine, business and more.<\/em> For more information on UMW\u2019s pathway agreements with other schools, visit the <\/em>Graduate and Professional Programs webpage<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
