EVERY DAY THE FUTURE OF MILLIONS

is DECIDED IN DC.

NOW IT’S TIME TO

DECIDE YOURS.

GLOBAL MBA GO.GWU.EDU/GMBA

Page 2: 2014 Global MBA Factbook

THIS IS THE CITY WHERE DECISIONS ARE MADE THAT CHANGE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS WORLDWIDE. Our students not only have a front row seat, but also have a hand in making them. Whether it’s in the future leaders we educate or in the present ones we bring to campus, GWSB possesses unparalleled opportunities to make a major, immediate impact upon the world.

Here you will learn the core competencies and hard skills needed in the business world. Unlike any other institution, you also have the rare opportunity to learn from those whom the rest of the world refers to as dignitaries. You will gain access to Nobel laureates and senators, and receive advice from Federal Reserve officials or foreign heads of state. With established relationships within the IMF, World Bank, and State and Treasury Departments (all located just blocks away), you will learn firsthand how the bottom line intersects with the big picture of international affairs, finance, sustainability, ethics, and corporate responsibility—often all at once.

In short, extraordinary people come here to teach, enlighten and inspire, and this extraordinary access provides you with insight into the inner workings of institutions most never see and perspectives that are changing the very way the entire world views business.

Our global presence, along with customized programs designed specifically to meet your needs, will enable you to pursue practical, insightful expertise from an enviable vantage point, not to mention gain a foothold in, say, Brazilian, Chinese, and sub-Saharan African business.

At the GW School of Business, we pioneer research. We influence global economic policy. We shape society. We drive progress. GWSB is the ideal setting for the next generation of international leaders, and our Global MBA offers you the chance to make some history of your own.

Because these days, the last thing any of us should do is conduct business as usual.

The World Calls Them

WE CALL THEM

DIGNITARIES.

BUSINESS PARTNERS.

At the GW School of Business (GWSB), we stand at the nexus of

the world’s political and economic powers. Our

location is one of our greatest assets in both

making business leaders and making history.

While Washington’s claim to fame may be as the seat of power, the city is building quite a reputation for its incredible momentum. According to the census, DC is growing faster than any state in the union. Moreover, the District also boasts the nation’s strongest—and fastest growing—local economy, the most educated populace and the lowest unemployment rate.

DCIS ALL ABOUT

AND THE REST IS

THE FUTURE.

HISTORY.

DC is among the top 10 in venture capital investment

#1 new tech hot spot (Forbes)

#3 for female entrepreneurs in the nation

#1 retail market on the East Coast (Marcus & Millichap Annual State of the Retail Market)

Superlatives abound in this city like monuments. And it’s no surprise, really. What was once regarded as a relatively sleepy town is now a hotbed for dynamic entrepreneurship, arts and culture, fine dining, and the legions of ambitious young people who are driving it all forward. In fact, DC is an amazing place to not just learn about business, but also conduct it. But don’t just take our word for it. Consider the facts:

The nation’s capital has always been a place where life-changing decisions are made. Now, with a bevy of the nation’s best human capital and a cosmopolitan vibe offering countless outlets for growth, opportunity, culture, history, recreation, sports, and nightlife, DC is where even more people are coming to make their future.

While there is no one path leading to a successful business career, following your own is the surest way to achieve your personal career goals. With this in mind, the Global MBA offers an extensive array of electives and concentrations, empowering you to pursue areas of specialization that match your interests and increase your marketability.

You can choose from more than 200 classes throughout the School of Business and even more across the university. With your 24 credits of electives, you can customize your business curriculum to specialize in up to two separate areas and apply them to concentrations, certificates, and even joint degrees. Furthermore, this ability to pinpoint your interests greatly enhances your opportunities to acquire the kinds of top-flight DC-area internships that provide you with vital practical experience—and regularly lead to a job after graduation.

INSTITUTE: All students will take part in this two-week orientation where they will compete in a case competition, take their first MBA class, brush up on their quantitative skills in a series of workshops, and gain an introduction into the rigor of the MBA classroom. Additionally, students will experience firsthand why GW’s strategic location in Washington, DC, is an asset to the program.

CORE CURRICULUM: GW’s core curriculum offers you a foundation for understanding how a business or organization operates from the ground up. Through the core, students will complete 31.5 credits of classes focusing on topics including finance, marketing, accounting, operations, strategy, and international business that now feature the following enhancements:

Delve Into Strategy: Internships are essential to be competitive in the career recruitment process. Since many companies begin recruiting potential interns early in the first semester, students will take a new Strategic Fundamentals course to better prepare them for interviews.

Reducing the Core: With GWSB offering more than 200 electives each year, our students wanted to take advantage of the wide range of options available. To best prepare you for your next career move, the new curriculum reduces core requirements and frees up space within your MBA to customize your degree through concentrations and certificates. You can take it even further by experiencing courses across GW’s 10 graduate schools or by completing one of seven joint degrees.

Customizing Your MBA: The curriculum includes a wide variety of concentrations and certificates. You’ll be able to complete up to two specialized concentrations (for example: Consulting with Global Management) that will appear on your transcript, or simply remain a generalist if you choose.

Consulting Abroad Program: During the spring semester of the first year, students will consult for an international organization during a nine-week Consulting Abroad Program. The first seven weeks will be spent in DC, consulting remotely for an internationally based client. After finals are completed in May, students travel to the country for two weeks to present their final deliverables and consulting recommendations to the organization.

More importantly, incoming students will experience a new Global MBA core curriculum directly based on the results of our comprehensive, rigorous research with leading employers and corporate partners, recruiters, international business scholars, alumni, and current students. Ultimately, you will reap the benefits of a program shaped to make you more nimble and maximize your potential in an ever-competitive job market.

All in all, GWSB’s no-nonsense, high-octane environment will provide you the necessary preparation for not only successfully navigating the business world, but also moving into its front ranks.

THE GLOBAL MBA PROGRAM: AN OVERVIEW

Over the course of the next 21 months, you will come face-to-face with top global business and political leadership, engage in intensive experiential learning, collaborate with world-renowned professors, consult for international businesses, and choose from among 15 areas of specialty.

HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE GLOBAL MBA FROM DAY ONE:

A GLOBAL

TO ITS NAME

MBATHAT LIVES UP

Fact: 100% of our students graduate with an international experience.

International business experience is no longer an added asset; it’s an utter necessity. In the Global MBA, we live up to our name. By the time you graduate, you will already be embedded into the global economy with a slate of international experience and contacts. Our Consulting Abroad Program, along with several other initiatives, provides you with a wealth of opportunities to add global business experience to your résumé.

In the end, the Global MBA ensures that you will be able to test all of the skills you learn in the classroom in an environment where it counts. After all, international strategic analysis, the power of collaboration, and the global intersection of business don’t exist in a vacuum. When we say we’re going to help you make your mark on the world, we mean it.

Page 7: 2014 Global MBA Factbook

CONSULTING ABROAD PROGRAM (CAP)

Students consult in teams for international companies over the course of nine weeks in a hands-on, real-time environment. Wherever you may find yourself, you will be in charge of executing on all deliverables while building and maintaining your client relationships. Moreover, CAP concentrates on companies in emerging economies that need your expertise and will enable you to have a real impact on their business in particular and the global economy in general.

The students who come to GW are as diverse as they are remarkable: Whether you’re sitting next to a talented mid-level manager, combat veteran, budding entrepreneur, or promising non-profit leader, you’ll soon discover that the broad composition of your classes will enhance discussion, facilitate partnerships, challenge your beliefs, and spur entirely novel ideas and approaches to solving problems.

Many come from traditional avenues of economics and business. But you will be surprised by how many of your Global MBA classmates hail from the humanities, engineering, social sciences, information technology fields, and more—not to mention the differences in age, gender, culture, and professional background. In fact, nearly half of the latest entering class consists of international students from more than 20 countries.

We know that career building does not happen entirely in the classroom. That’s why we offer you ample time to establish the kinds of ties that lead to both new friendships and new opportunities. In fact, classes are purposely held primarily Monday through Wednesday, so you have Thursday, Friday and the weekend to network, mentor, hone your leadership skills, pursue professional prospects, and socialize. There’s no better place to start than on campus.

With numerous student organizations to choose from, not to mention business activities and competitions, community service initiatives, lectures, and events, the GW School of Business offers you a lively, dynamic environment to acquire the kind of experience you won’t gain from a textbook. Plus, you’ll discover countless visits from leading luminaries: Everything and everyone from Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor discussing her new memoir and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde giving talks before the IMF spring meetings (held right on campus) to the Clinton Global Initiative, which featured President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, among others, urging students to make commitments to action that could change the course of history.

With activities from every conceivable interest and angle (and a fully-loaded fitness center to boot), you’ll find yourself constantly on the move, as well as getting ahead.

While we could list our illustrious GWSB alumni (former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Samsung CEO Kun-Hee Lee, et cetera) or talk at length about the more than 200,000 GW alumni located in nearly every nation on earth, it’s much more helpful to you if we show just some of the many ways in which our Global MBA students can tap into the School of Business’s alumni community. After all, having an extensive and illustrious alumni network means nothing if our students cannot connect to it.

No matter how high they may ascend, members of our community are committed to supporting one another after graduation. That’s why so many within this vast network return to campus to guest lecture, visit classrooms, sit on panel discussions, and judge business plan case competitions. Top executives and employers know what they can expect from GWSB graduates—because they themselves experienced every bit of rigor within the Global MBA.

IN YOUR EDUCATION

WISELY INVESTING

MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS

We understand just how significant an investment in an MBA is, both in time and money. That is why we make a significant investment in our students. All applications—both domestic and international—are considered for merit-based scholarships. No separate application is required.

We are excited to offer merit scholarships ranging anywhere from $10,000 to full tuition to assist deserving students in earning a GWSB degree. Assembling the most talented class possible is not only a long lasting return-on-investment for you, but for everyone else as well. We cannot emphasize enough that these awards are completely merit-based and dependent on your academic profile, professional experience, and standardized test scores.

69% of the Fall 2014 entering class received merit-based scholarships, with the average award valued at $54,000 throughout the program—equivalent to more than half tuition.
