L.L.M from George Mason University [GMU VIRGINIA], Fairfax - Fees & Admission Details 2026

• The difficulty level is quite hard in computer science. It is mix of both practical and theoretical. But mostly it will be practical assignments.

• The positive thing is the courses are very well structured and the negative part is the faculties will be from different countries and there will be a communication problem with them. And we won't be understanding some terms they speak.

• In my time, it is around 1,500 dollar per credit. So nearly it goes to 16k dollars per semester with all the things including health insurance and other stuff. But when paying for spring semester it goes to 17k dollar because of health insurance. So, while paying fees for the spring semester, the health insurance for summer will also be counted. For that reason, it is slightly incremented for spring semester.
• The fees is totally credit-based and you have to take at least 9 credits per semester. Each credit costs 1500 dollar. sot 3 credits is equal to nearly 5k dollars where 9 credits is equal to nearly 15k dollars.
• For me, i was living off campus, so for me it is around 600- 700 dollars per month including everything(rent, utilities, food). For transportation, there are no issues, we have free public transportation(buses) which are very frequent.

• The process of searching for accommodation can be done by getting added to a WhatsApp group where there will be postings of apartments available. The challenges faced are getting into the right group and selecting an apartment through virtual photos.
• There can be no recommendations useful if in off-campus accommodations. For on-campus, there is a separate website for that but the cost is a little bit high.

• As I am staying off campus, I have joined a WhatsApp group that posts accommodation availability. There is a web page for college accommodation, which is usually costly. Challenges faced are finding the correct accommodation by only seeing the pictures of the apartment. There are no recommendations for off-campus accommodation.

No.of credits required to complete the course is 30 credits, they teach us and guide us regarding internships and projects and practical experiences integrated into the curriculum by providing a strong foundation regarding your field.

The program fees may vary which depends on the course chosen and the yearly fees is around 30k $. Students can avail loans and personal fundings. Students can pay the fees in term wise also as known as installments method. 

my opinion on the course curriculum and academics is that it’s very rigorous and requires a lot of time commitment but it’s very updated and relevant to what we will be learning in the real world when I take up a job after university. I have not been given any industry exposure or research experience as of yet.

The total tuition fees of my program are $8000 per semester and $16,000 per year.

Couse curriculum is very flexible with many concentrations. One of the main reasons I chose Mason is because of the concentrations and subjects they are providing us with.

Approximately 17k$ per semester.

The curriculum is very updated. I’ve had classes integrate interesting discussions about social media and new technologies, BLM movement, social injustices. I’ve also had to completely projects interviewing people in positions of power or people in professions of my choice to gain more exposure to diverse perspectives or advice.

I believe my tuition is around $65k a year.

It's good for now. Programming intensive. The faculty are very knowledgeable. The coursework is also well-prepared. The classes and logistics are well organized for most of the courses.

$1,500 per credit (need 30 credits for Master's).

It was very updated and there is a lot of research happening at my college.

$46,000USD

I like it so far. It's not the best but that's mainly because it's the classes I'm not too interested in currently. Once I get through my required courses and move into the more major focused courses I'll enjoy them more.

They charge per number of credit hours so as long as you have at least 12 credits you're charged as a full-time student.
