The Georgetown education is a liberal arts education steeped in the Jesuit tradition of social action. No matter what their particular interests may be, all undergraduates explore broad intellectual horizons, developing a more thorough understanding of themselves and of the world around them, not simply a set of professional skills.

Students are encouraged to enhance their classroom learning experience by taking advantage of Georgetown's location in Washington, D.C., holding internships on Capitol Hill, the National Institutes of Health, ABC News, The World Bank, The Smithsonian, Embassies, or with the myriad of non-profit and corporate groups involved with policy-making.

Undergraduate Schools

Students apply to one of four undergraduate schools within the University:

Georgetown College

   -Faculty of Languages and Linguistics

The Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service

The Robert Emmett McDonough School of Business

School of Nursing and Health Studies

Regardless of which school they choose, students join in a common learning experience, taking courses in schools other than their own, living and studying with students of every major and background.
