UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

“ Georgetown University has a soul, animated by the Catholic and Jesuit tradition that for hundreds of years has integrated learning, faith, and service. As a university, we strive for academic excellence, promoting the unfettered search for truth and depth of learning. As Catholic, we seek to bridge faith and reason, to foster inter-religious understanding, and to care for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — in the uniqueness of one’s talent and promise. As Jesuit, we educate for justice, summoning students and faculty to put their learning in the service of others, particularly for the most poor and vulnerable. In the end, we at Georgetown are measured not simply by what our students do but who they become as people — more wise, more courageous, more committed, and more loving.”

— REV. KEVIN F. O ’BRIEN, S .J . , VICE PRESIDENT OF MISSION AND MINISTRY AT GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY

Georgetown University McDonough School of Business

Dear Students and Parents,

As a business school within the Georgetown University academic community, we build on the mission and Jesuit heritage of Georgetown by developing lifelong learners who are intelligent, ethical, and socially responsible civic leaders.

Our faculty and the Undergraduate Program staff collaborate to offer a curriculum and co-curricular opportunities that foster academic excellence and encourage students to view an undergraduate business education as broad-based preparation for a career in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations.

This is an exciting time at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business. To prepare global leaders for the future, we have created two innovative programs — the Global Business Experience, which enables students to consult with multinational firms, and the Global Business Fellows Program, which provides students an opportunity to explore the integration of business, international affairs, and economics. The majority of our students study abroad at one of the semester-long programs at nearly 70 institutions worldwide, or at one of four custom summer programs: Global Entrepreneurship in Barcelona, International Finance in Oxford, Strategic Management in Hong Kong, and Global Social Enterprise in Central America.

We invite you to consider participating in our numerous interdisciplinary programs, such as the First Year Seminar, Entrepreneurship Fellows Program, Alumni Mentor Program, and Peer Ambassador Leadership Program, as you prepare to serve business and society with a global mindset.

We hope you will explore the unique offerings at Georgetown McDonough and enjoy your time on the Hilltop!

Founded in 1789 to educate leaders of a new nation, Georgetown is the oldest Catholic

and Jesuit university in the United States. Undergraduates at Georgetown receive a liberal

arts education steeped in the Jesuit traditions of social justice and cura personalis, or care

of the whole person. The university is committed to helping students grow intellectually,

spiritually, and emotionally and to prepare the next generation of global citizens to lead

and make a difference in the world.

HOMETOWN: Stony Point, NYMAJORS: Finance and Marketing WHAT WAS A TRANSFORMATIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE? During my first semester, I took International Relations. Taking a government course in the heart of the nation’s capital was a defining experience that opened my eyes to the world.

Richard Bertrand (B ’16)

Georgetown stands out as the home to a remarkable community of scholars. Students study some of the most serious issues confronting the world today and are exposed to a myriad of events, speakers, and service oppor-tunities that foster thought about the world beyond our historic campus gates. They become part of a true community with the opportunity to learn and grow in an environment of respect, friendship, and a shared sense of mission.

Many Georgetown alumni have become leaders in the fields of busi-ness, politics, science, religion, and education. Successful alumni include presidents and heads of state, CEOs of prominent corporations, Supreme Court justices, and more than 100 mem-bers of Congress, among other notable scholars and leaders.

Frank Estevao Maia (B ’17) HOMETOWN: Arlington, VA MAJORS: International Business and FinanceWHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE GEORGETOWN’S MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS? I chose the McDonough School of Business because I whole-heartedly believe in cura personalis — the development of the whole person — and Georgetown was the only school that offered me the opportunity to be surrounded by students who share a passion for caring for those who cannot care for themselves and who are women and men for others.

We offer a premier undergraduate program designed to shape the global business leaders of tomorrow. Students prepare for a career in business while immersed in the diverse atmosphere of research, teaching, and service at Georgetown University.

Our rigorous academic program is supported by a strong culture that encourages students to collaborate, forge close friendships, and engage in co-curricular opportunities outside of the classroom and beyond the Hilltop.

Georgetown McDonough faculty are world-class scholars engaged in pioneering research; professionals who have corporate, nonprofit, and government leadership experience; and entrepreneurs who mentor students in starting businesses. More than 30 percent hold citizenship in countries other than the United States, and nearly 30 percent are women.

In addition, we offer 10 faculty-led research centers and initiatives that generate research, advise policy makers, convene industry leaders, and provide real-world learning labs for students, among other activities. Undergraduate students have the opportunity to work with the Center for Financial Markets and Policy, Entrepreneurship Initiative, Steers Center for Global Real Estate, and Women’s Leadership Institute.

Vlad Kondratiuk (B ’16)HOMETOWN: Kiev, Ukraine MAJORS: Finance and International Business WHAT IMPACT HAS GEORGETOWN’S MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS HAD ON YOUR UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE? I chose to attend Georgetown because of the opportunities the school provides. I was able to intern at Blackstone, one of the best financial institutions in the world. Coming from Ukraine, I am grateful for the relationships I have forged here. The McDonough School of Business is a family, and the friendships I have made along the way have added to my amazing experience.

The Georgetown McDonough curriculum combines business and liberal arts courses to

provide a strong foundation in critical thinking and reasoning. Students must complete 40

three-credit courses — or 120 semester hours — in liberal arts, the business core,

a chosen major(s), and free electives.

Lauren Byrne (B ’18)HOMETOWN: Basking Ridge, NJ MAJORS: Finance and AccountingWHAT WAS A TRANSFORMATIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE? One of my favorite classes was Moral Foundations of Market Society. The class made me think critically about different aspects of today’s market society and showed me that there is more to business than numbers.

During the first and second years, the primary academic emphasis is on the liberal arts core. Students complete courses in subjects such as English, philosophy, theology, history, and economics, while beginning business coursework in accounting, business statistics, and business law. In their junior and senior years, students complete a business core in the areas of finance, marketing, management, operations and information manage-ment, and strategy before completing coursework in a chosen major.

The McDonough School of Business strongly supports students who would like to choose a minor in one of the nearly 50 liberal arts disciplines. This path allows them to explore and merge diverse interests into educa-tional pursuits. Approximately 60 percent of Georgetown McDonough students double major, and 30 percent minor in a liberal arts subject.

Our undergraduate program pre-pares all students to pursue careers and advanced education in busi-ness administration by providing a comprehensive foundation in core business disciplines. In addition, Georgetown’s global mindset boosts students’ awareness of and familiarity with international enterprise.

Building on this shared foundation, we offer the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with seven majors:

Majors• Accounting• Finance• International Business

Regional Studies• International Political Economy

and Business• Management, Leadership,

and Innovation• Marketing• Operations and Information

Management (OPIM)

Entrepreneurship Fellows Program Entrepreneurs are powerful agents of innovation and social change. The McDonough School of Business offers an array of opportunities for students to take entrepreneurship courses, join an entrepreneurial organization, or connect with local entrepreneurs.

Through a blend of coursework and co-curricular activities, the Entrepreneurship Fellows Program helps students understand their per-sonal entrepreneurial aptitudes. This distinctive program provides several opportunities to learn from entrepre-neurial mentors and faculty, to bond with peers and experienced mentors, and to develop the business acumen necessary to pursue an entrepreneurial career in new or existing organizations. Students may apply to the program in their sophomore year.

In addition, the Undergraduate Program Office teams up with Hilltop Consultants, a student-run nonprofit consulting group, for an annual nonprofit case competition. The McDonough-Hilltop Business Strategy Challenge attracts students from the nation’s top undergraduate business schools.

Christina Graziano (B ’17)HOMETOWN: Roswell, GA MAJOR: Accounting WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE GEORGETOWN’S MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS? The McDonough School of Business offers a top-notch business education, but it also has a strong emphasis on the liberal arts. I’ve simultaneously been able to develop my technical and analytical skills along with my writing and communica-tion skills. I love that I’m able to major in Accounting and minor in English – it’s a unique combination, and it always comes up in interviews!

We offer numerous opportunities for study abroad, encompassing partnerships with nearly 70 foreign universities and colleges in 39 coun-tries. As a result, approximately 55 percent of McDonough undergradu-ates study abroad.

Studying abroad strengthens the ability to think critically, understand global issues, and gain perspective on the United States and its policies. The Undergraduate Program offers four unique Georgetown McDonough summer programs in Barcelona, Spain; Oxford, England; Hong Kong; and Nicaragua.

Barcelona, Spain: Global Entrepreneurship and International MarketingIn this five-week program, located at ESADE — one of the world’s top busi-ness schools — students complete two courses, attend expert lectures and par-ticipate in Spanish language and cultural seminars. Course modules are comple-mented with visits to local businesses that play a vital role in Spain’s economy.

Oxford, England: Comparative Strategic ManagementThis six-week program at Oxford University compares business func-tions in Great Britain, Western Europe, and the United States. Students live on the campus of historic Trinity College and benefit from Oxford’s traditional

teaching methods in lectures, semi-nars, and tutorials. Participants also visit leading British firms to experience global business firsthand.

Hong Kong: Global Strategic ManagementThis four-week program enables McDonough students to study business strategy and intercultural communication in Hong Kong. The program includes a combination of course lectures and seminars, as well as visits to prominent business and cultural sites to gain insight into the important role that Hong Kong plays at the crossroads of global commerce.

Nicaragua: Global Social Internship ProgramRooted in Jesuit traditions, the Global Social Internship Program was cre-ated in collaboration with the Fabretto Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit organization that serves underprivi-leged children in Nicaragua. This five-week internship program offers a transformative platform for students to engage in service learning.

Global Business ExperienceIn the semester-long Global Business Experience, students conduct a substantive consulting project for an international business or organization under faculty supervision. The project culminates in a weeklong trip to the client country in the European Union

to present recommendations to senior management.

In addition to the coursework, students interact with the policy com-munity through visits to organizations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Global Business Fellows Program The Global Business Fellows Program is a joint program between the McDonough School of Business and the Walsh School of Foreign Service.

The program features three distinct and interrelated elements:

• An interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates business concepts, interna-tional affairs, and economics;

• The Global Business Experience, which provides real consulting opportunities with multinational firms; and

• Public policy programming, in which students interact with economic leaders and public policy decision-makers in Washington, D.C.

Gianna Pisano (B ’18)HOMETOWN: Germantown, MD MAJORS: Marketing and Operations and Information ManagementWHAT WAS A TRANSFORMATIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE? In my First Year Seminar, Learning to Think Globally, we discussed why cities were built in certain locations. This combination of geography, history, and business showed me how interconnected your education can be, and how the McDonough School of Business truly is interdisciplinary.

The First Year Seminar (FYS) Program is an exciting way for first-year business students

to explore the nature of scholarship, think about the relevance of business in society, and

foster intellectual and personal growth while adapting to the rigor of college-level courses.

The FYS program offers nine writing-intensive seminars that create a supportive learning and

service community. Each seminar is offered as a small class of approximately 20 students and

features a blend of engaging lecture and discourse led by premier faculty.

Rahul Guha (B ’16)HOMETOWN: East Brunswick, NJ MAJORS: Finance and AccountingWHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE GEORGETOWN’S MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS? I chose McDonough because it offers a four-year business curriculum while still giving me the opportunity to balance my education with studies in liberal arts. The self-motivated, entrepreneurial nature of the students also attracted me.

Mentoring Relationship with FacultyThroughout the program, students develop a mentoring relationship with faculty and strengthen critical academic reading and writing skills necessary for college and career success. Though the focus is on business principles and foundational knowledge, the courses foster substantive intellectual links to the liberal arts and sciences.

Distinguished Lecture SeriesThe Distinguished Lecture Series meets several times during the semester and is open to all seminar participants. Members of the world-class faculty at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business introduce various fields of study in business and illustrate how schol-arly research can inform and settle important questions in international business, public policy, and society. At least one lecture is delivered by the head of the client organization of the program’s case competition.

Case CompetitionStudents participate as teams in a case competition to develop a busi-ness strategy that addresses a current

business challenge facing a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C. Faculty and advanced undergraduate tutors coach each team. The finalists present their strategy recommendations to executives at the client organization.

• Case Competition Partners » D.C. Central Kitchen (2010) » One Global Economy (2011) » BPCAN and Georgetown

SmartStart was launched in partnership with PwC, and students are mentored by Georgetown alumni who work at the company. As a result of their partici-pation in SmartStart, several students have been hired as interns at PwC.

Brenna Muldrow (B ’16)HOMETOWN: Fayetteville, NC MAJORS: Management and MarketingWHY DO YOU LOVE WASHINGTON, D.C.? The city itself is one of my favorite parts of being a Georgetown student. There’s always something to do and see. I can visit an island, eat food from around the world, and nurse my comic book obsession all in the same day by hopping on the Metro. I can run into celebrities and politicians standing in the airport or eating in a restaurant. I love that I can have an adventure just by picking a place on a map.

Alumni Mentor Program (AMP)The McDonough School of Business Alumni Mentor Program (AMP) links undergraduates with Georgetown alumni in Washington, D.C. Participants engage in group events as well as casual, individual meetings with their mentors. Students network with recent graduates from a vast array of compa-nies and industries and can seek advice about job searching, interview skills, and career choices, as well as academics and extracurricular activities.

Case CompetitionsThrough case competitions, students develop teamwork, problem-solving, and presentation skills. The McDonough School of Business sponsors teams of students at numerous case competi-tions and leadership conferences. The competitions present challenging cases that require students to apply knowledge from all areas of business to present innovative solutions. Our undergraduate teams have competed in competitions domestically and abroad.

Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (SURF)Each summer, the McDonough Summer Undergraduate Research

Fellowship (SURF) offers grants for students to conduct research with a Georgetown McDonough professor. Grant recipients are awarded funding to complete an original research project on topics as varied and complex as the corporate bond market and under-standing why people fail to change their behavior after near-catastrophic non-events. Upon completion of the research project, students present find-ings at a research symposium.

The Sophomore Service ProjectThe Sophomore Service Project is an Alternative Spring Break option for McDonough sophomores that allows students to apply concepts they learn in the classroom while giving back and enacting principled leadership. This service-learning endeavor provides the opportunity to connect with classmates and the larger Georgetown community.

OrganizationsMore than 40 professional student organizations at the McDonough School of Business offer the chance to network with peers and faculty, take on leadership roles, and prepare for a career in business. Students also can develop leadership skills through student government by participating in the McDonough School of Business Academic Council.

Other Campus Organizations and ActivitiesThe university is home to the largest student-owned corporation in the nation, called The Corp, and the largest student-run credit union. Students also are involved in arts organizations, sport clubs, a cable TV station, and a range of publications. In addition, students enjoy participating on 29 varsity ath-letic teams.

Students who participate in Lemonade Day teach D.C. elementary and middle school students how to run a lemonade stand like a business.

“ The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship is an excellent opportunity for students to work with faculty on substantial research projects. This program benefits the school’s research productivity and benefits students by solidifying knowledge learned in the classroom.”

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

“ Georgetown University has a soul, animated by the Catholic and Jesuit tradition that for hundreds of years has integrated learning, faith, and service. As a university, we strive for academic excellence, promoting the unfettered search for truth and depth of learning. As Catholic, we seek to bridge faith and reason, to foster inter-religious understanding, and to care for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — in the uniqueness of one’s talent and promise. As Jesuit, we educate for justice, summoning students and faculty to put their learning in the service of others, particularly for the most poor and vulnerable. In the end, we at Georgetown are measured not simply by what our students do but who they become as people — more wise, more courageous, more committed, and more loving.”
