Student Life & Resources

The School of Public Policy realizes that there is much more to your student life than the time spent in the classroom. With that in mind, we want to ensure that you are aware of all the campus resources, programs, student organizations and local organizations that are available to you. The list below contains links to the web pages for several of these services and programs. We encourage you to take advantage of these helpful resources to further enhance your student experience.
Please contact the Student Services office for information about these or other GMU student resources.
If you are a Master’s student, remember to visit SPP101 for important resources to help you navigate, and be successful in, your graduate program in the School of Public Policy.

SPP tuition for in-state students is approximately half the cost of the tuition at private competitors in the D.C. area.

Employer information sessions are offered each semester with public, private, and nonprofit organizations such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, RAND, Third Way, and the Department of Treasury.

More than 70% of SPP students are employed while pursuing their degrees -- classes are offered in the late afternoon and early evening to accommodate full- and part-time students.
