The On-Campus Interviewing Program
The On-Campus Interviewing program provides a simple way for students to interview for career-related positions with employers from the DC Metro, including those cross country, for full-time, part-time and internship positions right in SUB I.
Employers visiting campus have targeted Mason as a top institution for their hiring needs and travel to campus to make interviewing convenient and accessible to our students.
All Mason degree-seeking undergraduate, graduate students and alumni are eligible to participate in the On-Campus Interviewing Program. However, screening criteria, including major, GPA and work authorization, for individual positions are set by the employer.
