Each year, the George Washington University awards an impressive range of doctoral degrees—the most advanced and prestigious degrees that universities confer. Most of our doctoral programs take full advantage of the Washington region’s rich opportunities for research and practice, from global policy institutions to high-tech centers.
Although all doctoral programs are rooted in research and scholarship, some of them are designed primarily to train researchers, while others prepare professionals in a field of practice.
