the ACCESS program:

A Narrative Description

George Mason University's new ACCESS Program offers students who are

academically qualified, but need a moderate amount of additional English

language study, to begin their undergraduate experience in a supportive

environment, while earning up to 27 college credits.

Access offers an innovative array of specially-designed academic coursework in

writing, oral communication, research methods, and American cultures, along with

exposure to more traditional college courses supported by English-language

specialists outside the classroom.

Co-curricular activities will introduce Access students to the rich variety of student-

life experiences at Mason and the dazzling resources of the Northern

Virginia/Washington, D.C. metro area.

At the conclusion of the Access year, students who demonstrate academic

success and English language proficiency will be eligible to continue their studies

as fully-admitted students with sophomore status at George Mason University.
