Washington D.C. | gwu.edu

Founded over 200 years ago, the George Washington University is located in the heart of our Nation’s Capitol. Just four blocks away from the White House, our students come to GW to explore the past and to chart new futures. They come to ask questions and to seek expert answers. They come to start discourse and to remember in silence. They come to demand change and to be that change. They come to grow. They come to learn. They come to make history and join the ranks alongside many prominent GW alumni. Our students are excited about our passionate faculty, diverse student groups, Division I athletics, our once-in-a-lifetime internships and the inspiring service opportunities DC provides. Our students clamor for the hands-on learning that our campus, DC and our global community can provide. Housed in a city unlike any other, our students gain an education unlike any other.

Points of Pride

1. Our students hail from all 50 states, Washington D.C., and over 130 countries.

2. GW’s location provides for unparalleled access to leading international institutions, multinational corporations, global media outlets and the governments of 177 countries via their resident embassies. This is a singular advantage, no other university has as much potential for international engagement within footsteps of its doors.

3. We offer over 12,000 internship opportunities for our students including: the White House, World Bank, National Geographic, NASA, the Smithsonian Museums, Capitol Hill and more. Many of these are within walking distance of our Foggy Bottom campus.
