About The George Washington University

The George Washington University (GW) was founded in 1821 by an Act of Congress that sought to honor the hope of our nation’s first president that a higher education institution would be established within the limits of the District of Columbia. Comprising approximately 70 total acres, the university consists of two campuses located within five miles. The Mount Vernon campus, on which our program will be held, is a more traditional college campus setting nestled within a residential neighborhood. The close proximity of this campus to the downtown area provides ample opportunities to tour our nation’s foundational history. A visit to the White House, a tour of government buildings and national monuments, or an afternoon at one of the Smithsonian Museums are among the many options available to visitors wanting to experience the DC area.
