Welcome to the Center of International Education

The Center for International Education (CIE) is housed in the College of Education and Human Development, George Mason University (GMU). GMU is situated in the heart of the Washington, DC metropolitan area, serves one of the most varied populations in the world and was recently named as the most diverse campus in the United States. We believe that education provides the means to transform our world, to bring together the richness of diverse populations and to improve opportunities for all people, world-wide.

The Center for International Education at GMU is committed to developing international partnerships, delivering high quality academic programs and building the capacity of domestic and international institutions to better serve children, family, community and educators.
