George Washington University (GWU) offers a diverse range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs across various fields, including politics, international affairs, health sciences, business, and the arts. What distinguishes GWU is its strategic location in Washington, D.C., providing students with unparalleled access to government agencies, international organizations, and countless opportunities for internships and career advancement.

Through its dedication to academic rigor, research, and a commitment to shaping future leaders, George Washington University prepares graduates to excel in their careers and contribute positively to society.

Building on the same core curriculum found in the Elliott School's world-class bachelor of arts program, the bachelor of science in international affairs integrates advanced STEM training that puts students at an advantage when navigating the increasingly science- and tech-dependent landscape of twenty-first century global affairs. Students also have the flexibility to pursue a second major in computer science, economics, or other STEM-related discipline, allowing them to develop an innovative, individualized, and highly-marketable program of study. These features, in combination with an expert faculty, frequent campus visits by ambassadors and other world leaders, and close connections with key institutions and stakeholders in the nation’s capital, puts students and graduates in a prime position to achieve their goals.
