I greatly enjoyed my experience with GWU; it was a great fit for me. It is definitely a program on the rise and I look forward to remaining an active alumni and seeing the program's continued development. -- Human Resources
Fellow students attracted made the experience what it was. Extremely team oriented people made learning experience more enjoyable. -- Consulting
GW has a great set of professors and I also had the opportunity to meet fellow - students of a high calibre, which enhanced the quality of the program. The location too was very advantageous and significantly contributed towards making the overall exprience very enriching. -- Entrepreneurship
The GW MBA program gave me the tools for success in the professional world. I would highly recommend it to everyone. -- Finance
The GW full-time MBA Program is not for everyone. It is a very small program and requires a lot of time and effort from the students. Students need to be self-starters and have a desire to make an impact on their program and on their classmates. Before recommending the program, I urge friends and colleagues to do research on why they want to go back to get their MBA and on the GW full-time MBA Program. -- Finance
The program has a strong environmental management and public policy/strategic management program that reflects GW's DC roots. For those interested in the intersection of policy and business there are few better programs. -- Consulting
Great for people who wish to a large variety of topics and backgrounds. -- Consulting
On paper, I was not initially impressed with GW's MBA program, and thought I would be attending Georgetown or BU. But after visiting all three campuses, meeting students and faculty, and attending classes, it was GW that I liked the most. -- Consulting
GW attracts a unique group of students interested in environmental policy and non profit management. The concentration system is an important part of the culture at GW and my fellow students played a significant role in my educational experience. I think GW's career center could do a better job providing NGO and government connections and placements. -- Consulting
I benefited tremendously from the GW Full-Time MBA program and I think that it is only going to get stronger moving forward. The new facilities were a big plus and the program office is making some improvements to the curriculum, such as having a required international experience, that will make it even more attractice in the future. -- Consulting
The school offers good quality of professors, accomodating academic staff, best facility and good environment. The school also have many student chapter and organization for student to be involved. -- Finance
GW's MBA program is constantly evolving. Despite the institution having strong brand recognition, the MBA administrative staff have and continue to take steps toward improving upon an already strong program. It signals their desire to see the program become as competitive as any top tier MBA program. -- Marketing
I found the program very enriching and challenging. GW's location in DC is another great strength and adds immense value to the program and the overall experience. I would therefore highly recommend the program to friends/colleagues. -- Entrepreneurship
The program curriculum is alright but the profile of the students are outstanding and the chemistry among us is awsome. I believe it's this very point that distinguish our program from others, however, I don't think it's able to duplicate the same experience. -- Marketing
The school's location and brand name are of high value. The full-time MBA program is very intensive and it is an effective preparation for someone who wants to take on jobs that require graduate level degrees. -- Consulting
A few unprofessional faculty members were a turnoff. -- Operations
GW provides a uniquely collaborative learning environment that I would highly recommend. -- Consulting
George Washington University offers a niche program; it was a good fit for me but it's not for everyone. I found the small class size and the international orientation of the program to be very valuable. -- Nonprofit
