In American Politics & Public Affairs, you’ll learn firsthand from Washington experts about the presidency, Congress, the judiciary, political parties, women and politics, public opinion, and political behavior. In the classroom and on field trips, you’ll meet with key elected officials, Capitol Hill staff, lobbyists, and policy makers to discuss campaigns, legislative priorities, and emerging national issues. Then put what you learn into practice and gain hands-on politics and policy experience as you work on a realistic campaign simulation.
Georgetown was founded in the same year the Constitution took effect, in the city that is the center of power and politics. It is rumored that the original Declaration of Independence was hidden on campus when the British invaded Washington in the 1800s. Nowhere else will you get such a uniquely intimate view of the people, institutions, and processes that shape American policy.
Former president Bill Clinton and Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia are Georgetown alumni. Prominent officials— including a former secretary of state and a former presidential campaign manager have chosen to extend their legacies as members of the Georgetown faculty.
