GSA Programming at George Mason University
George Mason University has worked in partnership with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), in coordination with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Federal Chief Financial Officers Council (CFOC), and the 24 largest federal agencies, to support the federal government’s approach to workforce modernization and upskilling.
Costello College of Business has built a suite of programs designed for the federal financial management community as part of a broader effort to accelerate the rollout of agile and innovative approaches for upskilling the federal workforce.
These programs reflect the extensive engagement of Costello alumni serving across the federal government and are complemented by graduate certificate programs in areas such as government accounting, government contracting, and related disciplines. Together, these courses provide content aligned with 54 competency areas, with particular emphasis on data, technology, and financial management skills.
