Our review
Mason borrows what surrounds it: the largest naval complex on earth supplies a deep veteran cohort, and the school’s leadership curriculum — built with ex-military faculty — converts that into a differentiated product for the government-consulting corridor two hours north. Small, old, and more distinctive than its ranking suggests.
