Global Partner Programs are run through a partnership between two universities. Typically, students spend one semester (fall or spring ) or an entire year abroad (academic year or calendar year) abroad with a full-time course load. George Mason University also partners with some universities to offer international summer schools. These are programs where students can earn 3 to 9 credits in a mere 4 to 8 weeks.
