Two Worlds, One Purpose
DC has been Georgetown University’s home since we founded our Hilltop Campus in 1789. Today, as global issues become more urgent and complex, we’re meeting the moment. Our expanded campus just steps from the Capitol is animated by the commitment that has pushed us forward for more than two centuries: to be a force for good in the world.
