D.C. IS ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE. AND THE REST IS
HISTORY.
While Washington’s claim to fame may be as the seat of power, the city is building quite a reputation for its incredible dynamism. According to the census, D.C. 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. 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, D.C. 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:
#1 region in the country for fastest growing private companies (POUCOM)
D.C. is ranked the #2 Coolest City in the country (Forbes)
D.C. has the strongest economy in the United States (InTheCapital)
Washington is the #2 real estate investment market in the United States (Urban Land Institute)
Ranked #3 for female entrepreneurs in the country Ranked #1 new tech hot spot (Forbes)
#1 city in the country for producing and attracting business founders
The nation’s capital has always been a place where life-changing decisions are made. Now, with a cross-section of the nation’s best human capital and a cosmopolitan vibe offering countless outlets for growth, opportunity, culture, history, recreation, sports, and nightlife, D.C. is where even more people are coming to make their future.

Whether you’re managing a $10,000 project or a billiondollar program, it means coordinating, communicating, scheduling, and maintaining focus. You need to have the unique ability to do both: get into the nuts and bolts as well as step back to take a macro view. The Master of Science program in Project Management (MSPM) blends the study of advanced project management techniques with general management principles.
MS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The innovative, ethics-infused curriculum balances real-world practice and academic theory, to develop the skills managers need to integrate complex projects, motivate people, and achieve cost-effective results. We offer courses in the evenings at our Washington, D.C., campus to help students in the workforce who live and work nearby. And for more than 15 years we’ve also been bringing the MSPM program to students through our distance learning option.

IF YOU THINK
STUDENT ACTIVITIES ENRICH LIFE AT GW, WAIT until YOU SEE WHAT THEY DO ONCE YOU’VE GRADUATED. 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.

WISELY INVESTING
IN YOUR EDUCATION
MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS
NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID
VETERANS & MILITARY
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. We are excited to offer merit scholarships ranging anywhere from $10,000 to full tuition to assist deserving students in earning a GWSB degree. Active-duty personnel, veterans, or dependents of veterans may be entitled to varying educational benefits. To be eligible, veterans must have completed at least one year of active service in the U.S. Armed Forces, unless discharged under honorable conditions for medical reasons.
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.
GWSB’s financial commitment to active duty military and veterans through generous special scholarships from the School of Business, along with financial support available from the Post 9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program make graduate study here attractive and affordable and can provide partial to full funding. To learn more, contact GW Student Veterans Services at vetserve@gwu.edu, and include the specific program to which you have applied in the subject line.
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.
All federal loans require the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. All applications—both domestic and international— are considered for merit based scholarships. No separate application is required.
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. The Student Accounts Office accepts authorizations from third party sponsors to bill them directly. Please visit studentaccounts.gwu. edu/third-party-billing to learn more.
