The Volgenau Technical School is located on the Fairfax campus at George Mason University at the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Volgenau School offers programs in B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. level.
Founded in 1985, Volgenau School of Engineering is the first engineering school in the United States to focus its main scholarship on information technology-based engineering. It is also the first school to offer a doctorate in information technology and remains the only engineering school at the Commonwealth of Virginia with its main campus in the National Capital Territory.
Along with the 20th anniversary, the school received a $ 10 million prize from Ernst and Sara Volgenau and was named the School of Engineering and Information Technique Volgenau in honor of this prize. This gift allows schools to create new academic and research programs in biotechnology.
In April 2009, the school moved to a new building. The 185,000-square-foot building is the first LEED certified building on campus and gives VSE the opportunity to more comfortably organize its academic and research initiatives. Some buildings are provided as rental space for companies that want to work with lecturers and students.
The Dean of the School is Dr. Kenneth Ball, Senior Associate Dean is Dr. Stephen Nash, and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies are Dr. Sharon Caraballo. Liza Wilson Durant is the Dean of the Association of Strategic & amp; Community Engagement. Arthur Pyster is Dean of the Research Association; Professor, SEOR.

Doctoral Program
The six PhD programs and Engineers in the IT degree program are described briefly below.
Ph.D in Bioengineering
Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and Infrastructure
Students may choose to study in the areas of: environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, construction and management techniques, infrastructure systems engineering, structural engineering, or transportation techniques.
Ph.D. in Computer Science
This national ranking program is run by the department of Computer Science and offers research opportunities in various fields including Algorithms and Computational Theory, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Computer Vision, Computer Science Education, Database, Data Mining, Graphics and Image Processing, Information Systems, Parallel and Distributed Computing, Software Engineering, Security, and Systems and Networks.
Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering
The program is run by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). The aim of the program is to prepare students to conduct independent and original research in their areas of interest. Currently there are five active research areas in the ECE Department: communications and computer networks, computer engineering, control systems and robotics, signal processing, and microelectronics.
Ph.D. in Information Technology
The program is run by Senior Associate Dean's office. Students can conduct their doctoral research under the supervision of every qualified faculty member from one of the school departments. A student may choose to earn this degree without any particular concentration or in any of the following concentrations: Civil Engineering and Infrastructure, Information Security, Information Systems, and Software Engineering. Selecting concentrations may impose additional requirements and may reduce program flexibility.
Ph.D. in Statistics
This program is run by the Department of Statistics. The key research areas of department faculty within the program include statistical signal processing, biostatistics, statistical genetics, statistical charts, and data exploration.
Ph.D. in Systems Engineering and Operations Research
The newly approved program is offered by the Department of Systems Engineering and Operations Research. The PhD in SEOR curriculum offers a unique integration of systems engineering and operations research. This integration gives students strong analytical and computational skills on the one hand and an overall system perspective that is firmly rooted in other applications.
An engineer in information technology
The program is run by Senior Associate Dean's office. This is not a doctorate, but it allows students to combine advanced course work from Ph.D. degree in Information Technology with applied projects. Students can undertake their project under the supervision of every qualified faculty member from one of the school departments.
