Admissions

Welcome to the Office of Admissions

Thank you for visiting the Office of Admission for the Graduate School of Education & Human Development (GSEHD) at The George Washington University…and congratulations on taking the first step towards earning a graduate degree!

GSEHD has over 50 programs of study dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all people.  We offer these programs in consideration of the conversations taking place in our home, Washington D.C. – not only the nation’s capital but in many ways, a global capital of policy and reform. 

I consider myself very lucky to be able to assist you through this very important turning point (perhaps, tipping point!) in your life and look forward to seeing you develop from prospective student into an alumna and a scholar. 

It is my hope that you will find this site helpful as you begin the admission process.  Please be sure to check out every facet of the information that is provided here, including program websites, application requirements, tuition support opportunities, and faculty biographies.  This is an exciting time to become part of the GSEHD community.
