PGCert in Security Science and Technology

This certificate from the Schar policy school introduces where science and security meet. Students in a Schar master's program can often earn it with two additional courses alongside their degree. It can be completed full time or part time and totals 15 credits. Applicants must be admitted to the certificate program, and the certificate admissions page of the policy school lists the requirements. A single failing grade results in termination from the Schar program. The school is based at Van Metre Hall and the Mason Square campus. Prospective students should consult the George Mason University catalog entry for the complete course list and policies, and contact the listed program office with questions about eligibility, course sequencing and how the certificate can be combined with other graduate study.
