“Over the last two decades, a revolution has occurred in the corporate world, the skills it requires, and the technology it demands,” says John Wilson, Executive Dean of the GW Virginia Campus. “That revolution has occurred in higher education as well,” he continues, “in new approaches to graduate education, just-in-time training, and in where and how people learn.”

For fast-track business and technology executives, the GW Virginia Campus offers accelerated and executive programs that can be completed on weekends in less than two years. The Accelerated M.B.A., new to the Virginia Campus this fall, features Saturday cohort classes and 18 specialization areas. Also meet the faculty and staff from the Executive M.S. in Information Systems Technology, the Accelerated M.S. in Engineering Management, and the Accelerated M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The Executive M.S. in Information Systems Technology is one of the top six executive programs as ranked by Computer World (August 2002).

An accelerated graduate certificate is offered in Computer Security and Information Assurance, as well as new graduate certificates this fall in Telecommunication Security and Electronic Warfare, Telecommunications Networks, and Wireless and Mobile Networks. Certificate credits can easily be transferred to related engineering master programs.

Innovative doctoral programs, also structured around weekends for the wired executive, are available in higher education administration and in executive leadership in human and organizational change. Both programs are offered through the Graduate School of Education and Human Development, ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 25 schools of education in the United States.
