There aren’t many cities that offer the personal and professional opportunities you’ll experience in Washington, DC. And Georgetown prepares you to make the most of it all. Whichever campus you call home, you’ll have the benefits of both.

Perched above the Potomac River, Georgetown’s Hilltop Campus is the historic heart of the university. With its Gothic architecture, grassy quads and deep learning experiences, the Hilltop is a classic campus environment. The surrounding Georgetown neighborhood is laid-back but lively.

Located blocks from the Hill, Georgetown’s Capitol Campus puts you close to decision-makers and influencers in DC. Sleek and state-of-the-art, the campus offers a fast-paced environment where students and faculty work across disciplines and in the city to bridge theory and practice in real time.

We believe it’s important to sustain a truly diverse community. That’s why we commit to meet the financial need of every admitted undergraduate student, and your need for financial assistance does not impact your chances of admission. If you’re accepted here, you belong here.

“Why did I come to Georgetown? I liked the idea of a liberal arts education that would provide me with a wholesome and expansive knowledge of topics that were outside my intended major and fields of interest.”
