Enhance Your Marketability
Professional Degree Programs at the College of Professional Studies.
The George Washington University College of Professional Studies (CPS) is an accelerator for transformation. We invite experts and students from across industries and backgrounds to come together—even if they don’t always come to the same conclusions.
Crossing disciplines crosses lines. Tears down silos. And shocks the systems that keep things just the way they’ve always been. Perhaps that’s why, year after year, the same challenges continue to confound industry and society. Perhaps too many are unwilling to challenge the way we tackle challenges.
Our multidisciplinary experiences will provide you with unprecedented professional perspective, and our extensive, influential network will connect you with unique opportunities to expand your marketability.
Connect with experts, partners, leaders, and fellow students who will challenge your thinking and support your growth. The skills you master here will catalyze your career, enhance your industry, and invigorate your community.

There wasn't one founder
There wasn’t one captain of industry. Nor one person responsible for making the world what it is today. There were MANY.
While one can make a difference, it takes many to create the kind of transformation that propels knowledge, innovation, and society forward.
At the George Washington University College of Professional Studies, you’ll join a diverse group of experts, scholars, faculty, business partners, and fellow students who are determined to leave an outsized mark.
And with each new skill, every new achievement, you’ll enhance your worth and move your career forward.
But in the familiar words of those who came before us: “Out of many, one.” Together, we’ll make this experience the one that catalyzes your life’s work and inspires you to contribute to something far bigger than yourself.
