George Washington University Responds to International Enrollment Drop and Curriculum Changes

George Washington University (GW) faces significant financial and academic challenges due to a 34% decline in international student enrollment since 2024, potentially leading to $100 million in losses. This drop is linked to federal visa restrictions and changes in loan programs. In response, GW's Computer Science department is overhauling its undergraduate curriculum to incorporate a stronger AI foundation, aiming to attract more students amid national enrollment trends and AI's evolving role in the field.
