Mission: We teach undergraduate and graduate students both applied and theoretical economics. Our teaching and research stress the importance of markets and institutions on political and socioeconomic outcomes.
Time magazine referred to George Mason as an ambitious university that is "now challenging the nation's elite schools." U.S News and World Report said the University "has a corps of highly respected economists and high-tech scholars." The University's stature and reputation are exemplified by the presence of Dr. James M. Buchanan, Virginia's first Nobel Laureate and the recent appointment of Dr. Gordon Tullock, originator of much of the work underlying the field of public choice, a specialty at George Mason.
