We live at the intersection of teaching and doing, where learning is more than the transmission of knowledge, it is an act of collaboration and practice. Under the mentorship of our distinguished faculty, you’ll go beyond the information to not just learn about your field, but also to learn your field’s way of thinking. Through lectures, small group projects, independent studies, office hours, internships and more, you’ll leave Georgetown with the intellectual skills of perception, analysis, interpretation and expression.
