At the core of the Georgetown University education is the 450-year-old Jesuit tradition of educating the mind, body and spirit through curiosity, inquiry and reason. Georgetown University is rooted in both the common spirit of learning and faith that characterize the long tradition of Jesuit education as well as the American ideals of open-mindedness and an inclusivity of diverse perspectives.
Drawing upon the Jesuit vision of education, Georgetown University is a distinctive educational institution committed to methodical academic inquiry, engagement in the public sphere, and a global understanding of religious and cultural pluralism. With a strong moral and ethical grounding, Georgetown University and the McDonough School of Business prepare disciplined and discerning business professionals with a global mindset and clear sense of purposeful leadership.
