Visiting Scholar Program

The Center for International Education welcomes Visiting Scholars from universities around the world who can contribute to CIE’s mission and goals.

To apply to be a visiting scholar, please review the Visiting Scholar Procedures. For additional information about the Visiting Scholars Program, please email us at cie@gmu.edu.

Visiting Scholars partner with CIE affiliate faculty to further their shared research interests. Visiting Scholars have come to Mason from all over the world. We have hosted researchers and scholars from Australia, Azerbaijan, Canada, China, Germany, Korea, Kuwait, Republic of Macedonia, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, and the Ukraine. Topics of research include: cross-cultural interpretation of the English translations, international university ranking and its impact on Arab universities, the evolution of English language hegemony, and analysis of American kindergarten educational process for comparison with Korean institutions. In addition to completing independent and collaborative research, Visiting Scholars are expected to offer at least one seminar regarding their research and expertise during their time at Mason.
