George Washington University-School of Business

School

The GW School of Business (GWSB) was born in a spirit of innovation. You might say it’s our oldest — and proudest — tradition. Since its founding in 1928, GWSB has stood on the cutting edge of bold new ideas. Today, that’s still where you’ll find us: creating and building for a new century.

Location

GWSB’s historic campus is in Washington, D.C. nestled between the White House, the Kennedy Center, and a number of federal and international agencies. MBA students at George Washington University’s School of Business have unique access to business leaders from both public and private sectors and to policy makers. 

Accreditations

GWSB is accredited by AACSB. The AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. 

GW, the institution, is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), one of the six (former regional) accrediting organizations that are “recognized” for its quality reviews by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the United States Department of Education (USDE).
