Undergraduate Research

McDonough offers our undergraduates a number of opportunities to conduct research with faculty members during their time at Georgetown. Our Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) provides funding during the summer to allow students to engage in an original research project and our Senior Honors Thesis Program allows seniors to earn academic credit during their last year on the Hilltop as they write their senior thesis. 

Global Programs

At no other time has a global perspective been more important in business education. Through participation in the innovative programs below, Georgetown McDonough students will cultivate the necessary skills to succeed as future global leaders.

MSB Writing & Communications Center

Founded in Fall 2019, the MSBWCC offers free peer tutoring services for all MSB students. Writing Fellows are available to support students with essays, research papers or any other type of class writing assignments at any stage of the writing process. We are available to help with any and all assignments!

McDonough Undergraduate Career Development Center

Today’s students have more career options than ever. Students must be acutely aware of their own strengths, skills, motivations, and values to develop a sustainable career plan that meets the needs of an ever-changing job market. The McDonough Undergraduate Career Development Center supports students in this process of self-discovery, career education, and network-building to create a career that will carry them throughout life.
