Georgetown McDonough educates students in the Jesuit tradition, encouraging the continued pursuit of knowledge and fostering a commitment to the service of others.

With a student body representing all 50 states and more than 50 foreign countries, Georgetown University continually attracts outstanding international students and an internationally recognized faculty.

In addition to studying the basics of business, students now have the opportunity to earn a certificate as an Entrepreneurship Fellow. This innovative three-part program takes students from the fundamentals of what it means to be an entrepreneur, to developing and refining a business plan, to a capstone course that focuses on practical implementation of their knowledge under the mentorship of local entrepreneurs.

Summer internships, along with several integrative learning experiences throughout the curriculum, extend formal learning from the classroom to the business world. These include the signature Global Experience, which prepares students to lead multinationally. Student consulting teams tackle a pressing problem for companies doing business abroad and travel to client countries to present their work to management.
