All GMF students begin the program as a cohort during the summer semester, living on Washington University's campus. You start with a four-course/six-credit summer semester.

In August, you travel to a partner university to pursue the second program of study. See curriculum details for each partner program:

• Singapore Management University
• Yonsei University in South Korea
• Reichman University in Israel
• WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany

You return to WashU for a second summer semester with the entire GMF cohort and learn from each other's experiences at the various partner schools. WashU's second semester curriculum includes immersion courses in New York and Washington, DC, that explore U.S. financial markets, policymaking, legislative processes, enforcement agencies, and the Federal Reserve. Courses in Washington, DC are offered in collaboration with Brookings Executive Education, part of the Brookings Institution, an internationally acclaimed nonprofit public policy research organization.

Most programs conclude after the second WashU semester, but some partners require a final semester, either on campus with the partner university, or via classes taken remotely.
