About

As the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit university, Georgetown was founded “on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical, and spiritual understanding.” Our mission comes alive on the Capitol Campus in new spaces, programs and experiences and in our commitment to the city we call home. And now, as our world’s issues become more pressing and complex, we are growing to magnify our impact in DC and on the global stage.

The Capitol Campus offers Hoyas experiential learning, internship and service opportunities, and cutting-edge programs in the heart of the nation’s capital. Its new spaces to teach, learn, live and work are open to the entire Georgetown community.  

We are unveiling new programs and new spaces to spark discoveries and collective impact. And we’re just getting started. 

The Capitol Campus includes:

• An apartment-style residence with modern amenities and vibrant communal spaces near Union Station, restaurants, multiple metro stations and Capitol Hill 
• A learning experience that extends beyond classroom walls
• A significant expansion of space available for classroom instruction and academic programs
• State-of-the-art facilities for interdisciplinary collaboration and research
• Access to DC’s cultural life, museums and monuments, and political arena
• Shared office space, conference rooms, convening spaces open to all of Georgetown
• Opportunities to work, intern and serve in downtown DC 
• Free, frequent transportation to and from Georgetown’s Hilltop campus

We’re continuing to grow our footprint in DC. Learn more about the places that make up the Capitol Campus.
