A few weeks ago SC&A prepared a presentation on the history of the Arlington campus as part of a celebration and open house for the latest addition to the campus: Founders Hall<\/a>. While Mason as a whole has a rather brief history, the acquisition and development of the Arlington campus is quite interesting and an important milestone in the University’s growth and increased prestige on the national stage.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1979, the Arlington Campus began as the home to GMU’s School of Law. Since that time the campus has changed dramatically and now houses world-class programs such as the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution<\/a> and the School of Public Policy<\/a>. The original goal of the campus was to be the home of the law school and other programs that complement legal studies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The School of Law figures prominently in the history of the Arlington Campus. GMU acquired the International School of Law in 1979 which would become the school we know today. <\/p><\/div>\n
