Why you should consider this program

The Georgetown University McDonough School of Business develops principled leaders with a global mindset to be in service to business and society. Through courses, co-curricular activities, and career-related events, Coverdell Fellows will receive a rigorous business education that also prepares them to make a positive impact on the community through careers in for-profit, non-profit, or non-governmental organizations. Our location in Washington, D.C. also provides a business perspective at the intersection of policy and society.

All full-time MBA students will complete a 54-credit program over the course of 21 months. The general management degree provides both core courses and the ability to customize the program by taking electives from: accounting, finance, marketing, management, and operations and information management..

All full-time Master’s in Management (MiM) students will complete a 35-credit program over the course of 10 months. This degree is modeled after the first year of the MBA program and provides core business courses designed to help students launch their career in business.

A highlight of the Fellows program will be a required Global Business Experience. This program allows students to consult for an international company, solving real-world problems for a client. This six to eight-week experience culminates in a one-week global trip to meet with and present recommendations to the client.
