Short-Term Study Away Programs

Short-Term Study Away Programs (STAPs) are the best way for students to exercise international mobility while at the GW School of Business (GWSB).

STAPs are taught by faculty from GW or one of GWSB’s international partner universities and are open to graduate students enrolled at GW as well as GW students in non-degree status (i.e., not currently pursuing a degree or certificate). Select undergraduates may participate in faculty-led programs if they meet admission standards set by STAP faculty. Offerings are designed to expose graduate students to diverse opportunities for global learning while at GWSB.

Available Short-Term Study Away Programs are listed below.

Non-GWSB Courses

Additional short-term study away programs offered by the university, and open to GWSB students, are available through the Office for Study Abroad and the Graduate School of Political Management.

*The “short-term exchange” program designation identifies programs run by a GWSB partner institution. These programs are only open to graduate students in the GW School of Business, and are a unique opportunity to enroll directly in a course at one of our partner universities and take classes with a diverse array of students from our partner institutions across the globe.

**Open enrollment course; application deadline does not apply.
