PhD Program Information Sessions

Welcome to George Mason University's School of Public Policy (SPP). The best way to learn about our student culture and doctoral degree program in public policy is to join us at an upcoming information session.

Each session is a panel format. Program Director Dr. James Pfiffner will speak about the school, faculty and curriculum. An admissions representative will be available to answer questions about the application process, financial aid and graduate research assistantships.

Current PhD students are also on hand to discuss their experiences, how they achieve school-life balance, and why they chose George Mason.
