GWU

About

Since the earliest days of our capital city, individuals have journeyed here for myriad reasons. They come to explore history and envision new futures, to pose questions and seek expert insights. They arrive to spark dialogue and reflect in silence, to demand change and embody it. They come to grow, learn, and make history, joining the ranks of distinguished GW alumni.

Our students are drawn to GW for these very reasons. They seek passionate faculty, diverse student organizations, Division I athletics, unparalleled internships, and inspiring service opportunities. While many universities offer these experiences, GW provides something more. Our students don't just participate in community service; they rise to meet challenges set by the First Lady of the United States. They don't merely view art slides; they engage with masterpieces in world-class museums or perform on the stages of the Kennedy Center. And they don't just attend engineering courses; they conduct groundbreaking research in state-of-the-art labs with faculty who are shaping tomorrow's world.

Located in a city like no other, our students receive an education that transcends traditional boundaries. The entire city becomes their classroom, offering experiences unique to GW. Here, students graduate not only with a diploma but with transformative experiences that could only happen at GW.
