IN THE CITY WHERE DECISIONS ARE MADE THAT CHANGE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS WORLDWIDE, our students not only get a front-row seat to witness—and experience—how business is conducted on the world stage, but also have a hand in making those critical business and policy decisions. Whether it’s in the future leaders we educate or in the present ones we bring to campus, GWSB possesses unparalleled opportunities to make a major, immediate impact upon the world.
Here you will learn the core competencies and hard skills needed in the business world. Unlike any other institution, you also have the rare opportunity to learn from those whom the rest of the world refers to as dignitaries. You will gain access to Nobel laureates and senators, and receive advice from Federal Reserve officials or foreign heads of state. With established relationships within the IMF, World Bank, and State and Treasury Departments (all located just blocks away), you will learn firsthand how the bottom line intersects with the big picture of international affairs, finance, sustainability, ethics, and corporate responsibility—often all at once.
In short, extraordinary people come here to teach, enlighten, and inspire, and this extraordinary access provides you with insight into the inner workings of institutions most never see and perspectives that are changing the very way the entire world views business.
Our global presence, along with customized programs designed specifically to meet your needs, will enable you to pursue practical, insightful expertise from an enviable vantage point, not to mention gain a foothold in, say, Brazilian, Chinese, and sub-Saharan African business.
At the GW School of Business, we pioneer research. We influence global economic policy. We shape society. We drive progress. GWSB is the ideal setting for the next generation of international leaders, and our Professional MBA offers you the chance to make some history of your own.
Because these days, the last thing any of us should do is conduct business as usual.
The World Calls Them
WE CALL THEM
DIGNITARIES.
BUSINESS ”Professor.”
At the GW School of Business (GWSB), we stand at the nexus of
the world’s political and economic powers. Our
location is one of our greatest assets in both
making business leaders and making history.

While Washington’s claim to fame may be as the seat of power, the city is building quite a reputation for its incredible momentum. According to the census, DC is growing faster than any state in the union. Moreover, the District also boasts the nation’s strongest—and fastest growing—local economy, the most educated populace, and the lowest unemployment rate.
DC Open For Business
DC is among the top 10 in venture capital investment
#1 new tech hot spot (Forbes)
#3 for female entrepreneurs in the nation
#1 retail market on the East Coast (Marcus & Millichap Annual State of the Retail Market)
Superlatives abound in this city like monuments. And it’s no surprise, really. What was once regarded as a relatively sleepy town is now a hotbed for dynamic entrepreneurship, arts and culture, fine dining, and the legions of ambitious young people who are driving it all forward. In fact, DC is an amazing place to not just learn about business, but also conduct it. But don’t just take our word for it. Consider the facts:
The nation’s capital has always been a place where life-changing decisions are made. Now, with a bevy of the nation’s best human capital and a cosmopolitan vibe offering countless outlets for growth, opportunity, culture, history, recreation, sports, and nightlife, DC is where even more people are coming to make their future.

FLEXIBILITY: GW offers its Professional MBA in Cohort, Self-Paced, Online, and Hybrid formats. This allows our students to complete their MBA at their own pace from our highly accessible location in Foggy Bottom (Blue, Orange, and Silver lines) or from anywhere in the world.
CORE CURRICULUM: GW’s core curriculum offers you a foundation for understanding how a business or organization operates from the ground up. Through the core, students will complete 28.5 credits of classes focusing on topics including finance, marketing, accounting, operations, strategy, and international business that now feature the following enhancements:
Peer-To-Peer Learning: Here at GWSB we recruit the top-working professionals from a wide array of industries around the region, and around the world. You’ll be sitting in class with seasoned colleagues from public, private, and non-profit organizations. The insights gained from class discussions are further strengthened by networking outside of the classroom.
A Reduced Core: With GWSB offering more than 200 electives each year, our students take advantage of the wide range of options available. To best prepare you for your next career move, the new curriculum reduces core requirements and frees up space within your MBA to customize your degree through concentrations and certificates. You can take it even further by experiencing courses across GW’s 10 graduate schools or by completing one of six joint degrees.
Customize Your MBA: The curriculum includes a wide variety of concentrations and certificates. You’ll be able to complete up to two specialized concentrations (for example: Consulting with Global Management) that will appear on your transcript, or opt to remain a generalist if you choose.
International Focus: Our MBA programs encourage students to take advantage of multiple short-term study abroad opportunities. These are offered when classes are not in session, so you won’t have to miss out on your coursework to study abroad.
More importantly, incoming students will experience a new Professional MBA core curriculum directly based on the results of our comprehensive, rigorous research with leading employers and corporate partners, recruiters, international business scholars, alumni, and current students. Ultimately, you will reap the benefits of a program shaped to make you more nimble and maximize your potential in an ever-competitive job market.
All in all, GWSB’s no-nonsense, high-octane environment will provide you the necessary preparation for not only successfully navigating the business world, but also moving into its front ranks.
THE PROFESSIONAL MBA PROGRAM: AN OVERVIEW
Over the course of the next two to five years, you will come face-to-face with top global business and political leadership, engage in intensive experiential learning, collaborate with world-renowned professors, and choose from among 15 areas of specialty.
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE PROFESSIONAL MBA FROM DAY ONE:
“GW’s recognized MBA program and
central location in Washington, DC,
were both significant factors in my
decision to pursue my MBA there.
Plus the university has outstanding
benefits for service members, and the
Military and Veterans Office provides
excellent guidance on benefits and
veteran-specific services.
Additionally, I was able to participate
in several short-term study abroad
programs, which were by far some of
my best experiences, exposing me to
countries I would have never imagined
I would work in, and teaching me how
to operate on the international stage.”

Cohort – Based on our full-time MBA model, this option is designed to be completed in three years, but can be accelerated and finished in just two years. In the traditional format, students complete two courses at a time for the first three semesters (together in an MBA cohort on our Foggy Bottom Campus), and after the first year, you customize your MBA from a variety of concentrations, certificates, and electives. To complete the program in only two years, students may opt to take a third class each semester—online, on-campus, or even overseas—which allows you to finish the program in only two years.
Self-Paced – Designed with greater flexibility in mind, the self-paced format is completed in two to five years based on the number of courses you complete each semester. As a result of this flexibility, the number of credit hours that a student completes each semester will dictate the length of their program, all while meeting the needs of their own professional and personal schedules.
Online – Offered completely virtually, this program enables students to earn their GW MBA from anywhere in the world while earning the same AACSB-accredited degree awarded to our on-campus students. Our cutting-edge technology will bring you into a virtual classroom with your professors and your fellow students without sacrificing the ability to network or develop team-based skills (in this format it will simply be more realistic as you work in virtual teams). In addition, you have the option to complete intensive in-person coursework on-campus—or from anywhere around the world through our short-term study abroad programs.
Hybrid – The ultimate in flexibility, this option is becoming our most popular format. Students can decide not only which courses to take, but also what delivery format they prefer—online or on-campus. The ability to hybrid our Professional MBA is attractive to students with busy seasons in either their personal or professional lives. Students can opt for their upcoming semester to be online, in person, or a combination of the two formats.
Which GW MBA is right for me?
The GW Professional MBA is designed to focus on advancing your career while providing you with the most flexibility and customization available
compared with any other Washington, DC, MBA program. Offered in several different formats to best meet your needs (Cohort, Self-Paced, Online,
and Hybrid), you’ll experience nearly the same curriculum and coursework as our full-time students, but designed around your schedule and
tailored to your career.

The students who come to GW are as
diverse as they are remarkable: Whether
you’re sitting next to a talented mid-
level manager, combat veteran, budding
entrepreneur, or promising non-profit
leader, you’ll soon discover that the broad
composition of your classes will enhance
discussion, facilitate partnerships, challenge
your beliefs, and spur entirely novel ideas
and approaches to solving problems.
Many come from traditional avenues of
economics and business. But you will
be surprised by how many of your MBA
classmates hail from the humanities,
engineering, social sciences, information
technology fields, and more—not to
mention the differences in age, gender,
culture, and professional background.

We know that career building does not happen entirely in the classroom. That’s why we offer you ample time to establish the kinds of ties that lead to both new friendships and new opportunities. There’s no better place to start than on campus.
With numerous student organizations to choose from, not to mention business activities and competitions, community service initiatives, lectures, and events, the GW School of Business offers you a lively, dynamic environment to acquire the kind of experience you won’t gain from a textbook. Plus, you’ll discover countless visits from leading luminaries: Everything and everyone from Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor discussing her new memoir and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde giving talks before the IMF spring meetings (held right on campus) to the Clinton Global Initiative, which featured President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, among others, urging students to make commitments to action that could change the course of history.
With activities from every conceivable interest and angle (and a fully loaded fitness center to boot), you’ll find yourself constantly on the move, as well as getting ahead.

While we could list our illustrious GWSB alumni (former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Samsung CEO Kun-Hee Lee, et cetera) or talk at length about the more than 270,000 GW alumni located in nearly every nation on earth, it’s much more helpful to you if we show just some of the many ways in which our GW MBA students can tap into the School of Business’s alumni community. After all, having an extensive and illustrious alumni network means nothing if our students cannot connect to it.
No matter how high they may ascend, members of our community are committed to supporting one another after graduation. That’s why so many within this vast network return to campus to guest lecture, visit classrooms, sit on panel discussions, and judge business plan case competitions. Top executives and employers know what they can expect from GWSB graduates—because they themselves experienced every bit of rigor within the GW MBA.

“My favorite thing about GW has
been the ability to customize my
MBA with electives from the Global
& Experiential Education options.
I’ve been all around the world and
am truly getting an international
experience which is what I wanted
from my graduate program.”
YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
IN YOUR EDUCATIONWISELY INVESTINGMERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS
We understand just how significant an investment in an MBA is, both in time and money. That is why we make a significant investment in our students. All applications—both domestic and international—are considered for merit-based scholarships. No separate application is required.
We are excited to offer merit scholarships ranging up to a total of $27,000 to assist deserving students in earning a GWSB degree. Assembling the most talented class possible is not only a long-lasting return-on-investment for you, but for everyone else as well. We cannot emphasize enough that these awards are completely merit-based and dependent on your academic profile, professional experience, and standardized test scores.
Nearly one-third of entering PMBAs received a merit-based scholarship with an average award exceeding $18,000.
Please check our website to learn more: go.gwu.edu/pmbatuition
NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID
Most student loans are based on either financial need or creditworthiness and are available only to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. GW students most frequently utilize loans such as the Federal Stafford Loan Program. Other private and federal loans are also available.
All federal loans require the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. The maximum loan eligibility is $20,500 per academic year, and the interest rate is fixed at 6.2%.
TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
Many larger corporations, as well as the federal government, offer tuition assistance to employees pursuing graduate study. In most cases, your program of study must be related to your career field and approved by a supervisor at your organization.
VETERANS & MILITARY
Nationally recognized as a top military and veteran-friendly university, GW offers a wealth of services and benefits to students who have served, or are currently serving, in the U.S. Armed Forces. Funding resources for graduate study include:
• GI Bill Base Benefit: $21,084.89 per qualified graduate student per year.
• Yellow Ribbon Program Benefit: Up to $13,500 per qualified graduate student per year.
THIRD PARTY BILLING
The Student Accounts Office accepts authorizations from third party sponsors to bill them directly. A third party sponsor is an embassy, government agency, or private company that pays all, or a portion, of a student’s bill directly to the university. The payment must be unconditional; it cannot be contingent on academic performance or employee reimbursement policies.
