Office of International Programs
With almost 2,400 students from 130 countries, 300 visiting international scholars, and a footprint in more than 80 percent of the countries in the world, The George Washington University is a hub of learning and research that stretches well beyond its immediate borders.
Nearly half of all GW students study abroad, with access to more than 300 programs worldwide. Our faculty lead classes, serve as visiting scholars, and conduct their research on every major continent. Students and faculty at GW’s location in Washington, D.C., access major international organizations and think tanks to form linkages with their academic fields.
The Office of International Programs plays a pivotal role in the university’s efforts to engage the world from the nation’s capital by providing guidance and resources to faculty, students, staff, visitors and partner institutions.
By helping to identify GW’s international priorities and to expand educational opportunities abroad in all disciplines, the Office of International Programs bridges cultures, deepens understanding, and connects the university community to significant resources for study and teaching far beyond our campus.
