Early on, George Mason’s Confucius Institute offered only non-credit Chinese courses to the community, but in recent years the Confucius program has been involved much more in credit courses. In 2015, the program was transferred from the university’s College of Visual and Performing Arts to the Global Strategy Office, strengthening the Confucius Institute’s influence within the university. In 2017, it supported or hosted activities at local schools, museums and galleries in the region, as well as adult education programs in the community like Encore Learning.
