Georgetown University's Robert Emmett McDonough School of Business is a premier business school
within a liberal arts-based Jesuit university. Students at the McDonough School of Business are
educated in the Jesuit tradition, with an emphasis on teaching the skills necessary for distinguished
professional performance with a commitment to service to others. Faculty members foster an
environment for learning and select techniques that challenge students to take an active role in
the education process rather than to absorb ideas passively. Committed to excellence and sensitive
to the impact of managerial policies on society, the faculty integrates teaching and research.
Several academic themes distinguish the McDonough School of Business and give the school a special
identity among managers and academicians, including international and intercultural dimensions of
the marketplace, the importance of written and oral communication, and interpersonal effectiveness
in organizations.
The McDonough School core courses in the traditional disciplines of accounting, finance, marketing,
management, and the decision sciences support these themes. Additionally these themes are supported
by the McDonough School's strong support of a minor concentration in one of the nearly 50 liberal
arts disciplines. For example, students studying accounting and finance are particularly encouraged
to consider a minor in a qualitative area that would complement their quantitative major
concentration. Those studying international business are encouraged to consider a minor in a
foreign language or government, and marketing students are encouraged to explore minor concentrations
in psychology or sociology.
