THIS IS THE CITY WHERE DECISIONS ARE MADE THAT CHANGE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS WORLDWIDE. Our students not only have a front row seat, but also have a hand in making them. 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 PARTNERS.

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.

DCIS ALL ABOUT

AND THE REST IS

THE FUTURE.

HISTORY.

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.

program to China. The program

provided hands-on experience that I

would not have had the opportunity to

experience otherwise. Our classroom

experience focused on the business

environment in China - China’s Economy,

Financial Markets, & Government Policies.

While in China, we were able to

apply what we learned in the classroom

through our visits to companies and

institutes in a wide array of cities

including Shanghai, Yiwu, Zhuji,

Hangzhou, and Beijing. My experience

has sparked some great business ideas

and provided an opportunity to build a

strong global network.”

While there is no one path leading to a successful business career, following your own is the surest way to achieve your personal career goals. With this in mind, the Professional MBA offers an extensive array of electives and concentrations, empowering you to pursue areas of specialization that match your interests and increase your marketability.

You can choose from more than 200 classes throughout the School of Business and even more across the university. With your 27 credits of electives, you can customize your business curriculum to specialize in up to two separate areas and apply them to concentrations, certificates, and even joint degrees. Furthermore, this ability to pinpoint your interests greatly enhances your ability to take what you learn in the classroom back into the office the following morning. The GW MBA will be enhancing your career in real time.

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.

Reducing the 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 seven joint degrees.

Customizing 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:

“The African Business Association’s

events at the GWSB stand out as

the highlight of my business school

experience. I had the opportunity to

network with numerous private and

public sector leaders from Africa.

While Africa has a reputation for being

a risky environment to do business,

the many success stories of young

entrepreneurs seeing their dreams

actualized has given me hope.”

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 our 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 250,000 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.

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 $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 $15,000.

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: $19,198.31 per qualified graduate student per year.

• Yellow Ribbon Program Benefit: Up to $12,000 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.
