Georgetown University: Main Campus: McCourt School of Public Policy

Open Date: Dec 02, 2024

Description
The McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University is a top-ranked public policy school located in the center of the policy world in Washington, DC. Our mission is to teach our students to design, analyze, and implement evidence-based policies for the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, in the U.S. and worldwide. Our curriculum emphasizes data analysis, evaluation, and quantitative and qualitative methods. Our aspiration to be the most inclusive public policy program in the country is becoming reality: international students comprise more than half our student body and the McCourt community is engaged in research, teaching, and practice aimed at better understanding and addressing various forms of social injustice.

To further support this mission, the McCourt School created a mandatory pre-term course for all incoming students called Foundations of McCourt . An experiential program led by a team of McCourt faculty, staff, and Leadership Fellows, Foundations is designed to facilitate the transition to policy school for undergraduate and graduate students, to begin developing a set of core leadership and communications capabilities, and to catalyze inclusive policy work and advocacy. In Foundations, inclusion means understanding and practicing the values of diversity, belonging, and equity both within the McCourt community and in the broader public policy environment.
