MA in Migration and Diaspora Studies

George Washington University’s 30-credit MA in Migration & Diaspora Studies prepares students to understand, analyze and influence migration studies from one of the world's most strategically located campuses. Unlike programs focused primarily on European or Global South contexts, GW’s MA is uniquely positioned at the intersection of U.S. immigration politics and global diaspora studies — combining deep expertise in American immigration policy and community with rigorous comparative and transnational frameworks about mobilities. Washington, D.C., is not just our address; it is our laboratory.
