From wiki: Mason's school of Management has graduate programs for the Master of Business Administration degree (MBA) with a wide variety of concentrations/specializations, an Executive Master of Business Admin, Degree (EMBA); A master of Science in Accounting (MSA), a joint MBA/MSA degree and a Master of Science in Technology Management degree.

Maon's part time program ranked no 49. out of 217 schools with another 56 additionally not ranked. In other words it ranked no. 47 out of 273. Mason's Executive Management Program is ranked 59 out of 75. U.S. News & World report. And bear in mind, this is a very young program.

How does that compare to the other DC programs? UMD? Georgetown? GWU? American?

It is no longer a commuter college which someone was referring to. Over 9,000 students live in the dorms. It is the largest university in the Virginia system (33,000 students, 12,000 of which are Ph.D. or Masters students) and has become much harder to get into than VT, JMU or CN. Go look. It's very impressive. I was surprised. The State legislature is pumping a lot of money into GMU because of its position on the Dulles Tech Corridor. GMU's graduates get jobs.

GMU's graduate schools are definitely top-notch, but I think its reputation as an undergraduate institution leaves something to be desired.

Not really. GMU MBA is probably ranked dead last among the DC area programs

No, but its public policy and law schools are among the nation's best.

Nonsense. Even if you cherry pick their top grad programs, none are top 25 and virtually all schools in the metro area outrank GMU.

Accepts very few OOS students around here, at least none from my kids' high school and very few from all the high schools they know of.

UF has become more competitive over the last 20+ years...

I do agree about OOS admissions...lower than most State schools...
