In the heart of one of the most dynamic and influential cities in the world, our programs put graduate students in touch with the power to challenge ideas, ask them to look ahead and prepare them to lead the way. Our graduate programs not only ground students in theory and research but also connect them to the realities of their profession.

Through theoretical and applied learning, our programs combine curriculum from accounting, finance, project management, and other traditional business concentrations with industry-specific knowledge. Students will gain experience on and off campus, through laboratory work, classroom-based courses, and online classes, and be given access to a large number of networking opportunities through GWSB’s alumni and student organizations.

Because these days, the last thing any of us should do is conduct business as usual. Please explore the resources available to graduate students and learn about our graduate program orientations here.
