===21st century===
The school was founded as an institute in 1990 and developed into the graduate-level School of Public Policy (SPP) in 2000. In 2004, SPP was ranked by the [[National Science Foundation]] as the number four program in its field for federal and total research expenditures.<ref>http://eagle.gmu.edu/newsroom/514/?print</ref> As of 2013, it remained in the top forty for political science R&D expenditures.<ref>http://ncsesdata.nsf.gov/herd/2013/html/HERD2013_DST_49.html</ref>
In August 2014, the School of Public Policy began providing public policy and public administration education at the undergraduate level, then merged with the Undergraduate and Graduate Department of Public and International Affairs (then a department of the College of [[Humanities]] and [[Social science|Social Sciences]]’) to form the George Mason University School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://spgia.gmu.edu/home/about/facts-and-rankings |title=Schar School of Policy and Government &#124; |publisher=Spgia.gmu.edu |date=2019-09-13 |access-date=2019-09-20}}</ref>


In May 2016, the school was renamed the Schar School of Policy and Government in recognition of a $10 million gift from businessman and philanthropist [[Dwight Schar]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/05/05/george-mason-u-lands-another-gift-from-a-politically-connected-donor/|title=George Mason U. lands another gift from a politically connected donor|newspaper=Washington Post|access-date=Sep 18, 2019}}</ref>
In August 2014, SPP merged with the university's Department of Public and International Affairs to form SPGIA.<ref>http://spgia.gmu.edu/home/about/facts-and-rankings</ref> The next year, the new SPGIA was recognized as the tenth most innovative public service school in the USA by bestvalueschools.com.<ref>http://www.bestvalueschools.com/50-most-innovative-public-service-schools-in-the-us-2015/</ref>

History

[edit]

[edit]

The public policy section of the school was founded as a think tank and public policy research institute in 1990 and evolved into a graduate-only School of Public Policy in 2000; while the generalist political science and international affairs section was founded in 1990 as the Department of Public and International Affairs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

[edit]

In August 2014, the School of Public Policy began providing public policy and public administration education at the undergraduate level, then merged with the Undergraduate and Graduate Department of Public and International Affairs (then a department of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences’) to form the George Mason University School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs.[1]

In May 2016, the school was renamed the Schar School of Policy and Government in recognition of a $10 million gift from businessman and philanthropist Dwight Schar.[2]

In 2016, the Schar School announced it would partner with The Washington Post to conduct political polling. The Washington Post-Schar School polls correctly predicted that Hillary Clinton would win Virginia in the 2016 presidential race, Democrat Doug Jones would win Alabama's 2017 senatorial race, and Democrat Ralph Northam would win Virginia's 2017 gubernatorial election.[3]

The school's primary campus is in the Virginia Square neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia, with the headquarters in Van Metre Hall; roughly 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Washington, D.C. Undergraduate programs offered by the school are primarily held at the university's flagship campus in Fairfax, Virginia, with night school offerings in both Arlington and Fairfax. In 2013, political scientist Mark J. Rozell became Acting Dean, taking over the role in a permanent capacity in 2016.[8] During his tenure the school has averaged 80 faculty and a student body of approximately 2,000.[6] The school completed the 244,000 sq ft academic headquarters, Van Metre Hall, in 2010.[9] In 2020 the school began a $250 million expansion directly adjacent, as part of the Commonwealth of Virginia's bid to locate Amazon HQ2 in the nearby National Landing neighborhood.[10][11][12]

The headquarters of the Schar School and most of its non-traditional student and graduate programs are located in Arlington, Virginia. The Arlington campus was once the site of the now-defunct Kann's Department Store, and the property was acquired as the location for the university's law school by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1979.[13]

The Arlington campus consists of a 256,000-square-foot academic building with a 300-seat auditorium, a 5,600-square-foot multipurpose room, a library and an outdoor public plaza. As part of its successful bid to bring Amazon's HQ2 to Virginia, the state committed up to $125 million over the next 20 years to expand the Arlington campus with an emphasis on research and technology.[14]
