The Composition Program at GMU serves over 10,000 students a year in classes taught by approximately 100 faculty at campuses in Northern Virginia and Mason Korea in Songdo, South Korea via three courses: English 100, English 101, and English 302. 

In all three courses, students are encouraged to see writing as a social, imaginative, inquiry-based recursive action. Writers create texts in a range of genres that attend to particular rhetorical and academic contexts and that meet the expectations of particular audiences.

Congratulations to Composition on completing the bronze level of the AIEM – Teach (Activating Inclusive Excellence at Mason) credential from the Stearns Center for Teaching and Learning! This credential recognizes the academic units that have demonstrated their shared commitment to education that supports and includes all students, aligning with the institution’s mission and vision around student success.
