George Washington University was created in 1821 through an Act of Congress, fulfilling George Washington’s vision of an institution in the capital of the United States dedicated to education and the preparation of future leaders.

 


Today, GWU is the largest institution of higher education in the nation's capital. In addition to engaging in rigorous academic program, GW students take full advantage of the fact that the world intersects GW's campus and they participate in a wide range of cultural, political, culinary, and social ventures off campus.
