This section brings together brief historical information on current and former GW Schools and Units, including schools that were independent prior to becoming part of GW, such as the Mount Vernon College and National University.
This list is not comprehensive, and we are always interested in expanding this resource. Please contact the university archives if you don't see an answer to your question here, or if you have a written history you would like to share.
