Why GW?

George Washington envisioned a university that would educate future generations of citizen-leaders and serve as an intellectual hub for the country. Since then, the George Washington University (GW) has evolved into a top research institution and the largest institution of higher education in Washington, D.C.  Located in the heart of the nation’s capital, working at GW offers you unique experiences associated with our strategic location and culture, in addition to generous tuition and retirement benefits.

Today, thousands of people from more than 130 countries come to take full advantage of GW’s vast network of world-class academic, research and employment opportunities.  

We are a diverse and inclusive community, and we believe that every role and every person at GW contributes to our collective success and pursuit of excellence.  We seek people driven to put their knowledge to work for immediate impact on the world.

If this sounds like you, welcome to GW.

So that means that the people we are shaping with our curriculum are then out there, shaping the industries. We are shaping a variety of industries, just in the work we do here. That’s incredible."
