There aren’t many cities that offer the personal and professional opportunities you’ll experience in Washington, DC. And Georgetown prepares you to make the most of it all. Whichever campus you call home, you’ll have the benefits of both.

Perched above the Potomac River, Georgetown’s Hilltop Campus is the historic heart of the university. With its Gothic architecture, grassy quads and deep learning experiences, the Hilltop is a classic campus environment. The surrounding Georgetown neighborhood is laid-back but lively.

Located blocks from the Hill, Georgetown’s Capitol Campus puts you close to decision-makers and influencers in DC. Sleek and state-of-the-art, the campus offers a fast-paced environment where students and faculty work across disciplines and in the city to bridge theory and practice in real time.
