Hide Profile

The George Washington University's Graduate School was given authority to offer professional degrees in engineering in 1892, and in 1905 the School of Graduate Studies was established and authorized to offer the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy (even though the first Ph.D. was awarded in 1888). In 1930 the graduate School was discontinued. Columbian College assumed academic cognizance and a Graduate Council was formed to administer all Doctor of Philosophy degree programs. Advanced degrees in professional fields became the responsibility of the professional schools. In 1967 yet another reorganization consolidated the Graduate Council and the Graduate Division of the Columbian College into a new Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS).
