Welcome to GW

 

The School of Business of George Washington University provides a unique opportunity for individuals to prepare themselves for a career in academia, business, or the public sector. The School offers a variety of specializations to choose from.

The key within all of these areas is the underlying theme of research. Individuals pursuing the doctoral degree generally prepare themselves in two key ways: in-depth and critical knowledge of a selected area of study and knowledge of how we understand and pursue research about that area of study. The GW program provides the student with extensive preparation in both areas. In addition to courses offered by the selected area, the GW doctoral student has access to an extensive set of courses within the university. For example, Industrial-Organizational Psychology offers courses that support a specialization in organizational behavior or marketing and Economics offers econometrics and advanced courses that support Accountancy, International Business and Finance or from other universities in the consortium of universities located in the DC metropolitan area. For example, many students take courses at Georgetown, Maryland, and American Universities. 

GW doctoral students also have access to a wide variety of government, non-profit, global and business entities that are located in the Washington, DC area. These entities provide students with unique opportunities to learn and to access data and resources. The IMF, World Bank, Nasdaq and the White House are only footsteps away from GW’s SB Doctoral Program.

Graduates of the doctoral program typically take academic positions. Some prior graduates of the doctoral program hold academic positions at Boston College, Georgetown, Tulane, the University of Arizona, and Virginia Tech.
