Just a few blocks from the White House, the World Bank and the State Department, George Washington University gives its students a high-quality undergraduate education with the additional perks of a downtown D.C. location. With some of the most important political institutions, think tanks and research institutes in the county a metro ride away, George Washington University provides its students an unparallelled education, both in and out of the classroom. The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1821 and is the oldest of the schools at GW. The Elliott School of International Affairs is the largest of its kind, and attracts some of the brightest students in the country who wish to pursue a career in politics or international relations. With over 80 majors to choose from and a world of research tools like the Library of Congress right at their fingertips, students benefit immensely from the opportunities they are given during their four years at George Washington University. GW is generous with its financial aid as it seeks to attract the best students in the country, regardless of their ability to pay the sticker price.
