Why GW?

The George Washington University’s School of Business offers a quality education in business and management. Our international business, finance, and public administration fields are renowned, and the School prides itself on offering students flexibility in their programs of study. 

The faculty in the School of Business is engaged in a wide variety of research activities at the school’s eight research centers, covering subjects from globalization to strategic management, as well as accountancy, finance and management science.

This is an exciting time for the School -- the new business school facility, Duques Hall, a $50 million project that will be the physical foundation for the School's future will be opening its doors in January 2006. Located at the corner of 22nd and G Streets, the new complex will bring all of the School's academic and research units under one roof and will feature state-of-the-art technologies. 

We also offer students the chance to meet and talk with management leaders. In the past year, the school hosted Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay; Alan Greenspan, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve; Abby Joseph Cohen, chief investment strategist for Goldman Sachs; Bill Brodsky, chairman of the Chicago Board Options Exchange; and Arminio Fraga, the head of Brazil’s central bank.

But one of the school's greatest advantages is its location at the center of it all in downtown Washington, D.C. Within blocks of campus are The White House, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, as well as the headquarters and offices of thousands of national and multi-national corporations, non-profits, and non-governmental organizations.
