Today’s world of political change, economic uncertainty, and technological innovation requires leaders in the public and private sectors who have the necessary skills and knowledge to grow and, if needed, transform their organizations to better serve society.

In light of the changing global economy, we are offering a one-year graduate program that blends the strength of the oldest and most highly regarded school of foreign service in the world with a toptier business school that has proven experience in educating global, principled leaders to serve business and society.

We are pleased to introduce the Master of Arts in International Business and Policy from Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business and Walsh School of Foreign Service. In this interdisciplinary program, students will participate in a series of six intensive modules — two of which are held abroad — along with two online courses designed to accommodate the schedules of working professionals. In keeping with the university’s Jesuit values, students also will complete a social action project that examines and addresses an issue of local or global significance.

Thank you for your interest in this exciting new program. We invite you to learn more on our website, msb.georgetown.edu/programs/internationalbusiness-policy.

An Alliance with a Global Edge Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business and Walsh School of Foreign Service have partnered to deliver a new Master of Arts in International Business and Policy that provides professionals with a foundation in global business and principled leadership alongside a nuanced understanding of the non-market forces that influence international economic and political relations.

The M.A. in International Business and Policy interweaves the complementary strengths of each school with the university’s rich Jesuit history and positioning in Washington, D.C. — the nexus of global business and policy.

A Curriculum Designed for Working Professionals The 30-credit-hour, modular program is designed for working professionals who have the support of their organization to attend six, week-long modules, plus two online courses, during one calendar year. Four modules will take place on Georgetown’s Washington, D.C., campus. Two more modules will be held outside the United States in rotating locations such as Santiago, Chile, and Frankfurt, Germany.

Georgetown University faculty and seasoned practitioners in business and government teach participants in a practical manner, challenging them to work together and draw upon their skills, knowledge, and backgrounds to explore contemporary global issues.

Themed courses are built into each residency to provide participants with relevant insights in different business environments around the world. Through a social action project during the academic program, participants also will explicitly engage the values of service that are fundamental to Georgetown’s mission to develop principled leaders.
