Recruiter's Guide

For more than 50 years, Georgetown's McDonough School of Business has been preparing the business world's most respected leaders.  Our rigorous curricula, diverse community, vibrant location, and commitment to ethics come together to create an educational experience like no other.  We invite you to consider our exceptional MBA talent for your recruiting needs.

Community of Achievement:  Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business sits at the heart of one of the great universities in the world.  For more than 200-years, Georgetown has trained many of America’s top leaders and drawn students and faculty from around the globe.  Immersed in a curriculum focused on team-based projects and learning, Georgetown MBAs continue the tradition of achievement and collaboration in organizations around the world.

Global Mindset:  Georgetown MBAs recognize what it means to live, work, and succeed in a global environment.  Over ninety percent of our MBAs have non-native language proficiency, 51% of our students have lived, studied, or worked abroad, and 30% of our graduates are international. The capstone of the Georgetown MBA training is the Global Residency—a hands-on international consulting project that provides deep immersion in problem-solving and conducting business overseas. You can expect Georgetown MBAs to have the knowledge, experience, and the sensibility to thrive in international organizations.

Focus on Leadership:  Critical to the Georgetown MBA experience is a focus on leadership, where we believe that every student can develop both the technical know-how and the people skills necessary to drive organizational success.  With Georgetown’s rigorous academic program, students develop the analytical and decision-making skills that will help firms to stay on top of changing needs.  All the while, students hone their ability to lead groups and develop their leadership ethos through team-based learning, classes in the ethics and practice of leadership, leadership residencies, and an array of student organizations.

Center of World Politics and Business:  With a home on the hilltop of Washington, DC, Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business is in the center of where world politics, business, and culture intersect.  Outstanding political and business leaders make it a point to visit Georgetown.  With acclaimed faculty and speakers that advise the many leaders that come to Washington, our MBAs train and learn in an environment where the issues of business are never far from the context of world politics, trade, and diplomacy. 

One MBA, Two Formats:  At Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business, all our MBAs graduate with a versatile General Management degree, built around the core foundations of marketing, finance, accounting, strategy, operations, economics, and statistical applications.  Students can choose from either the MBA full-time program, a traditional, two-year curriculum, or they can continue as working professionals in the MBA Evening Program, a part-time, three-year curriculum.  All students graduate with the same MBA and comprehensive business knowledge.  No matter the format, companies hiring Georgetown MBAs can expect a collaborative spirit, global mindset, and demonstrated leadership.
