The Mount Vernon Campus, in the Foxhall neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C., provides a more traditional college campus than its Foggy Bottom counterpart while still offering students easy access to all the nation’s capital can offer.

The campus is home to the Elizabeth J. Somers Women’s Leadership Program, a yearlong  academic/residential program for incoming women students; the Department of Forensic Sciences; the Interior Design Program and the GW Pre-College summer program for high school students. It is also home to the University Honors Program and The University Writing Program.

Eckles Library features comfortable group and individual study spaces and three computer labs, including one with 24-hour access. With a special focus on the needs of freshman and sophomore students, Eckles offers research assistance, free tutoring services and a friendly, helpful staff to answer questions.

For extra-curricular activities, the campus features a variety of athletics, gardening and beekeeping, and the brand new West Hall, a mixed use residence hall that includes dining, a fitness center, a 150-seat black box theater, a digital media center, a high-tech studio and 50,000 square feet of student meeting and event space.
