Access to Excellence for All
George Mason's nearly 40,000 students come from all 50 states and 130 countries. Our campus is a mosaic of humanity, where a multitude of different people, languages, and perspectives come together. And while we may not always share the same opinion, we embrace a mutual respect for different points of view.
The Costello College of Business at George Mason University is a place of opportunity where learners at any stage come to develop, enterprises find talent and expertise, and business is a positive force in the world. We achieve that vision by fostering an effective and inclusive Costello culture that promotes student and employee wellbeing and belonging. Our inclusive culture is foundational to our work in preparing a diverse student body and faculty to succeed in a global business environment through outstanding scholarship in business, maximizing the impact of our collective expertise, and striving to instill a strong ethical compass and a life-long habit of learning in our students and stakeholders.
Providing students with opportunities so they can excel in their courses and in their chosen careers is core to who we are. We recognize that our success is dependent on how well we value, engage, and include the rich diversity of our students, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni stakeholders.
The Costello College of Business offers market-relevant programs for undergraduate and graduate students, helping to prepare them for successful careers that contribute to the economic vitality of the Commonwealth of Virginia through workforce development and growth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region.
We are committed to the idea that business must take a leading role in making a better world, and through our Strategic Plan and its initiatives, we endeavor to ensure that the Costello College of Business leads by example.
