Setting the Standard in Undergraduate Business Education
At Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, our students go beyond business as usual. Here, undergraduates learn how to lead with integrity, solve global challenges, and build lives of meaning—through business.
A Business School Built on Values and Vision
Georgetown McDonough prepares undergraduates to lead in ways that matter. Through a values-based curriculum rooted in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, or care for the whole person, students are challenged to develop as professionals and as people—with a commitment to ethics, service, and a global perspective.
Ethical Foundation – Business for the common good is in our DNA
Global Mindset – Study abroad, global consulting, and cross-cultural fluency
Real Impact – From D.C. nonprofits to international programs, students make a difference
The Georgetown Difference, As Lived by Our Students
Our students prove that business can be a force for good. Whether launching startups, leading campus ventures, or creating social impact, they embody what makes Georgetown McDonough exceptional.
