Overview

The George Washington University School of Business (GWSB) welcomes in-bound graduate-level exchange students from our current GWSB partner institutions.

Note for Undergraduate Students:

Undergraduate-level exchange students not from the U.S. should contact the GW Office for Study Abroad for assistance at studyabrgwu [dot] edu (studyabr[at]gwu[dot]edu).

Why GWSB?

The George Washington University School of Business offers an excellent education in business and management. Our international business, finance, entrepreneurship and business analytics fields are renowned, and the School’s business and accountancy programs are accredited by AACSB International. With our unique location in Washington D.C., and our top-notch faculty, we are able to offer a world-class education. The School of Business is an integral part of the George Washington University, the largest institution of higher education in Washington, D.C.

Exchange students have the opportunity to take courses across the School of Business and the entire University.  Exchange students are paired with a student ambassador prior to their arrival, have access to specific programming and may join any of GWSB's student organizations.

Become an Exchange Student Ambassador

Are you interested in expanding your network, and giving back to the GW community or the study abroad experience? Become an Exchange Student Ambassador! G&EE offers the Exchange Ambassador program to facilitate a smooth transition for exchange students and allow GW students to learn more about our exchange partner institutions.

Exchange Student Ambassadors serve as guides and resources for incoming exchange students who are new to GW and GWSB. Being an Ambassador would afford you the opportunity to serve as a representative and leader of the GWSB community and to gain experience working cross-culturally with students of diverse backgrounds. 

If you are interested in this unique opportunity, please consider filling out our Fall 2025 Exchange Student Ambassador application.
