Student Inclusion

Georgetown University and the McDonough School of Business are home to a vibrant and diverse community, with students of numerous faiths, backgrounds, ethnicities, nationalities, genders, and abilities. As a result, there are numerous activities, affinity groups, courses, and clubs focused on building a community in diversity across the Hilltop.

Student Impact

Within the McDonough School of Business, there are numerous opportunities for students to advance inclusion initiatives. At the undergraduate and MBA levels, there are student government positions related to building a community in diversity at the school, and students are often asked to advise leadership on their experiences.

More broadly, with community in diversity as a core Georgetown value, McDonough seeks to prepare students to impact their communities and workplaces long after they graduate. As such, there are numerous electives focused on buildingn a culture of inclusiveness throughout the business school curricula, as well as opportunities to engage in outreach programs like Georgetown Reach and the Pivot Program.

Student Community in Diversity Resources

Undergraduate students benefit from SmartStart (which equips a diverse pool of first- and second-year students for success), BUILD (a pre-orientation opportunity designed to adjust to the business school environment), and the McDonough Community Scholars Program (a version of Georgetown’s Community Scholars Program designed for business students).

The MBA Program has worked to increase scholarships that enhance the diverse perspectives represented in the program, including the Patrick Sheridan Endowed MBA Scholarship Fund, and the Dealy Scholarship

Our graduate programs are members of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, as well as National Black MBA, Prospanica, Forté, and ROMBA, and students often engage in programming organized by these groups.  

McDonough also is a proud member of the Yellow Ribbon Program, offering financial assistance to those serving or who have served in the U.S. military.
