Specific admission criteria for schools and programs are listed in The George Washington University Graduate Programs Bulletin.

As the number of spaces available for new graduate students is limited, meeting minimum standards does not guarantee admission.

To be considered for admission, applicants should have academic backgrounds of excellence and must hold, at a minimum, a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution of higher learning or an international institution that is accredited by the country’s ministry of education or comparable governmental agency. Specific criteria and standards for admission vary by school and program.

Please note that graduate courses taken prior to admission, either at The George Washington University or elsewhere, may not be used in assessing admissibility to degree or graduate certificate programs.
