GWU named one of the most expensive colleges in the US
WASHINGTON - George Washington University has been ranked as one of the most expensive colleges in the U.S.
The study, done by The College Investor put GW as #18 on the list of the 30 most expensive schools with an average annual tuition of $67,420.
That means students pay over $260,000 for an undergraduate degree — assuming they’re paying full price — and the numbers don't include room, board or other expenses like textbooks.
The most expensive school is Kenyon College, a private liberal arts school in Ohio. They charge $71,196 per year. That’s followed by Franklin & Marshall College and Colorado College, which both cost just over $70,000 per year.
GW was originally founded in 1821 as Columbian College and was renamed in 1904.
The school has 71 degree programs and over 11,000 undergraduate students.
