Global Master of Business Administration

The full-time, two-year Global MBA program blends rigorous training in traditional business skills with a focus on core values of global leadership, ethics, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility. Students in the Global MBA program are challenged to view things from a wider perspective and to make decisions that strive for profit as well as positive impact.

Prior to fall classes, students spend their first three weeks on campus in MBA Runway, an orientation program designed to introduce new students to the MBA experience, their fellow students, Business School faculty and alumni, GW resources, and life in Washington, DC. The first year of the Global MBA focuses on core courses composed of lectures, case studies, team projects, and experiential learning opportunities. The year ends with the Consulting Abroad Program (CAP), giving students first-hand experience in doing business abroad. The second year of the program allows students to focus on their specific professional goals and build their tech and analytics toolbox through selective courses and STEM electives.

The Global MBA is also offered in a STEM-designated format.
