About

Gateway creates vibrant experiences for international students through transformational learning opportunities tailored to meet specific linguistic, academic, and cultural needs.

Gateway to a Global World

Gateway is George Mason University’s program for non-native English speaking students who have been admitted to, or are seeking admission to, George Mason and need additional academic preparation or English language support as they begin their student journey. It provides additional resources and advising to help students succeed in a U.S. university environment. 

Through Gateway, students can:

  • Build the academic skills needed for university coursework

  • Strengthen their English language proficiency

  • Receive guidance and support as they transition to a U.S. academic environment

Students who successfully complete the program can continue in their undergraduate or graduate degree programs at George Mason. These programs were previously delivered through INTO Mason.
