Academically, Georgetown is divided into four undergraduate schools and four graduate schools,[4] with strong programs in international relations,[8] law, and medicine.[9] In addition, the university employs distinguished faculty members including former ambassadors and heads of state.[10] Georgetown's three urban campuses feature traditional collegiate architecture and layout,[11] but prize their green spaces and environmental commitment.[12] At the center of the main campus is the Romanesque Healy Hall, designated a National Historic Landmark.[13]

The student body is noted for its pluralism and political activism,[9] as well as its sizable international contingent.[14] Campus groups include the nation's oldest student dramatic society and the largest student corporation.[15] Georgetown's most notable alumni, such as former President Bill Clinton, have served in various levels of government in the United States and abroad.[16] The Georgetown athletics teams are nicknamed "the Hoyas,"[5] made famous by their men's basketball team, which leads the Big East Conference with seven tournament championships.[17]

History

See also: List of Presidents of Georgetown University

The first permanent Jesuit settlement in Maryland was established in 1634, but it was not until after the American Revolution that a lasting Catholic institution could be achieved.[6] To further this goal, John Carroll obtained the property on which Georgetown University and Georgetown Visitation are built in January 1789.[18] Instruction there began on November 22, 1791 with a future Congressman, William Gaston, as the first student.[19] Because of the lack of state or religious support, Georgetown College suffered from financial strain in its early years.[20] The school was bolstered when the Maryland Society of Jesus was restored in 1805, and Georgetown (incorporated as The President and Directors of Georgetown College) received a federal charter in 1815.[6] The school was the first to receive a university charter from the United States Congress.[21] The college's first two graduates, a pair of brothers from New York named Charles and George Dinnies, were awarded the degree of bachelor of arts two years later.[21]

The school was greatly affected during the U.S. Civil War, when many students left to enlist.[6] The Union Army commandeered several university buildings, and by the time of President Abraham Lincoln's May 1861 visit to campus, 1,400 troops were stationed in temporary quarters there.[22] Only seven students graduated in 1869, down from over 300 a decade prior.[23] After the war, Georgetown College Boat Club, the school's rowing team, adopted blue and gray as its colors to signify the peaceful unity between students from the Union and those from the Confederacy.[24] Subsequently these colors were adopted as the official school colors.[25] The school did not recover from the war until the presidency of the Reverend Patrick Healy, S.J. (1874-1881).[7] The first acknowledged African American to head an American university, Healy is credited with reforming the undergraduate curriculum and the medical and law programs, as well as creating the Alumni Association.[26]

In response to the need for alternatives open to Catholic students, a Medical School was founded in 1851, and a Law Department (now the Law Center) in 1870.[27] The undergraduate School of Nursing was founded in 1903. In 1999, it added three other health related majors and appended "Health Studies" to its name to become the School of Nursing and Health Studies.[28] The School of Foreign Service (SFS) was founded in 1919 by Edmund A. Walsh, S.J., in response to the need for institutions to train American youth for leadership in foreign commerce and diplomacy.[29] The School of Business Administration was created out of the SFS in 1955. It was renamed for Robert E. McDonough in 1999 and is now the McDonough School of Business offering both undergraduate and MBA degrees.[30]

Female students have been admitted to the School of Nursing since its founding, and most of the university was made available on a limited basis by 1952.[31] With the College of Arts and Sciences welcoming their first female students in the fall of 1969, Georgetown became fully coeducational.[32] Georgetown ended their bicentennial year of 1989 electing Leo J. O'Donovan as president. He continued the financial modernization of the school, and tripled the school's endowment.[33] In December 2003, Georgetown completed its Third Century Campaign, joining only a handful of universities worldwide to raise at least $1 billion for financial aid, academic chair endowment, and new capital projects.[34] Georgetown is currently led by their first non-Jesuit president, John J. DeGioia, who has sought to internationalize the Georgetown name.[35]

Profile

The University has 6,853 full-time and part-time undergraduate students, 4,490 full-time and part-time graduate students on the main campus, 2,017 students at the Law Center, and 788 students in the School of Medicine.[4] Bachelor's programs are offered through Georgetown College, the School of Nursing and Health Studies, the Robert Emmett McDonough School of Business, and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, which includes the Qatar campus. Qatar has two classes totaling 65 students.[36] Georgetown University offers undergraduate degrees in 48 different majors in the four undergraduate schools, as well as the opportunity for students to design their own individualized courses of study.[37] All majors in the College are currently open as minors to students in the College, in the School of Nursing and Health Studies, and in the School of Business, as are certain other fields. Georgetown University puts a priority on study abroad programs, and 58.7% of the undergraduate student body does study abroad.[38]

Master's and doctoral programs are awarded through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Law Center, the School of Medicine, the Public Policy Institute, the School of Continuing Studies, and the Center for Professional Development. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is the second largest graduate school at Georgetown, and offers multiple programs in 34 separate departments.[39] The School of Continuing Studies offers bachelor's and master's degrees through its Liberal Studies Program, which offer a unique doctorate in liberal studies.[40] The School of Continuing Studies also sponsors a Master's of Professional Studies in Journalism and Public Relations/Corporate Communication and other professional and continuing education programs.

Faculty

For a list of recent faculty of note, see the Georgetown University faculty category.

Georgetown University employs approximately 1,202 full-time and 451 part-time faculty members across its three campuses.[4] The faculty consist of leading academics and a number of notable political and business leaders. The current faculty includes minds such as former President of the American Philological Association James J. O'Donnell, world-renowned Teilhard scholar Thomas M. King, S.J., and leading social activist Sam Marullo.[10] Many former politicians choose to teach at Georgetown, including U.S. Agency for International Development administrator Andrew Natsios, former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, former U.S. Senator and Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle, former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith, and former CIA director George Tenet. Internationally, the school attracts numerous former ambassadors and heads of state, such as former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former Ambassador-at-Large Robert Gallucci, former President of the Government of Spain José María Aznar, Public Health Advisor of the World Bank Bernard Liese, and former President of Poland Aleksander Kwaśniewski.

Research

Georgetown University is a self described "student centered research university"[41] considered by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education to have "very high research activity."[42] Georgetown's libraries hold 2,435,298 items in seven buildings,[43] most located in Lauinger Library.[44] Additionally, the Law School campus includes the nation's fifth largest law library.[45] Georgetown faculty conduct research in many subjects,[46] but have priorities to conduct research in the fields of religion,[47] ethics,[48] science,[49] public policy,[50] and cancer medicine.[51] Regular publications include the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy, the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, the Georgetown Law Journal and Law Weekly, the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, and the Georgetown Public Policy Review.

Admissions

With 16,171 applications and 3,305 admitted, Georgetown has an overall undergraduate acceptance rate of 20.4%.[52] As The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2007 states, "only Stanford and a handful of Ivy League schools are tougher to get into than Georgetown."[53] The undergraduate schools maintain a nonrestrictive Early Action admissions program.[54] Fifty-five percent of undergraduates receive some form of financial aid.[55] The School of Medicine's acceptance rate for the entering class of 2006 was 4.3%, for which 8,832 applicants applied and 1,321 were interviewed.[56] A National Bureau of Economic Research study on revealed preference of U.S. colleges showed that Georgetown is the 11th most preferred choice.[57]

Campuses

Main article: Campuses of Georgetown University

Georgetown University has three campuses: the undergraduate campus and the medical school campus, together comprising the main campus, and the Law Center campus, all of which are located within Washington, D.C. Outside North America, Georgetown operates a Qatar campus in Education City, located outside the city of Doha, and villas in the Turkish city of Alanya and the Italian city of Fiesole.[58] In their layout, Georgetown's administration has consistently used the quadrangle design on their campuses.[11]

Main campus

Healy Hall is the main campus's iconic building

Georgetown University's main campus and Medical School campus are situated on an area of higher elevation above the Potomac River, overlooking northern Virginia. The main gates, known as the Healy Gates, are located at the intersection of 37th and O Streets, NW. The Medical School is located on a property adjacent to the northwestern part of the undergraduate campus on Reservoir Road, and is integrated with Georgetown University Hospital. Georgetown Visitation, a private Roman Catholic high school, is located on land adjoining the main campus.[59]

The main campus is just over 100 acres (400,000 m²) in size, and includes over 58 buildings, student residences capable of accommodating approximately 80% of the student body, and various athletic facilities.[4] Most buildings employ collegiate Gothic architecture and Georgian brick architecture. Campus greenery include fountains, a cemetery, large clusters of flowers, groves of trees, and open quadrangles. The school's first performing arts center was completed in November 2005, while longer-term projects include a self-contained Business School campus, the construction of a unified sciences center, and expanded athletic facilities.[60]

The Hotung International Law Center and the GULC fitness center

Law Center campus

The Law Center campus is located in downtown Washington on New Jersey Avenue, near Union Station. Some first-year students at the Law Center live in the one on-campus dormitory, the Gewirz Student Center. Most second-year and third-year students, as well as some first-year students, live off-campus. As there is little housing near the Law Center, most are spread throughout the Washington metropolitan area. The "Campus Completion Project," finished in 2005, saw the addition of the Hotung International Building and the Sport and Fitness Center.[61] G Street and F Street are closed off between 1st and 2nd streets to create open lawns flanking McDonough Hall, the main campus building.[61]

Quadrangles

File:Dahlgren.jpg
The Dahlgren Quadrangle is the traditional center of campus

The main campus has traditionally centered on Dahlgren Quadrangle, though Red Square has replaced it as the focus of student life. Old South was the first building to be built on the quad, though it was demolished in 1904 and replaced by Ryan Hall, Gervase Hall, and McGuire Hall. Old North, begun in 1794, remains in use for classes and offices.[62] In August 1797, George Washington visited the campus and addressed students from the porch of the Old North building; since then it has become a traditional spot for presidents to speak from when they visit campus.[62] Dahlgren Quad is completed by the famous and historic Healy Hall, which is built in Flemish Romanesque style and is the undisputed gem of Georgetown's campus.[63] In late 2003, the Southwest Quadrangle Project was completed. This project brought a new 907-bed student dorm, an expansive dining hall, an underground parking facility, and new Jesuit Residence to the campus.[64]

Student life

Ninety-seven percent of Georgetown undergraduates are full-time students.[65] Ethnically, they are 64.9% white, 9.1% Asian, 6.7% black, and 5.8% Hispanic; 53.9% of students are female.[43] Additionally, 12% of the student body is international, representing 120 different countries.[14] Though it is a Catholic university, only half of the student body is Catholic.[66] Georgetown also hosts a full-time rabbi and was the first school to have a full-time imam.[67] A majority, 78%, of undergraduates live on their campus in several dormitories and apartment complexes, though a minority lives off-campus in the surrounding neighborhoods—Georgetown to the east and Burleith to the north—and a few reside farther away.[68] On-campus housing is not available for graduate students, though many of the university's Hall Directors and Area Coordinators attend graduate level courses. All students in the Medical School live off-campus, most in the surrounding neighborhoods, with some in Dupont Circle and elsewhere through the region.[69]

Student groups

Georgetown University has 172 registered student organizations that cover a variety of interests:[70] student government, club sports, organizations focused on media and publications, performing arts, religion, and volunteer and service.[71] The Georgetown University Student Association (GUSA) is the student government organization for undergraduates. There are also student representatives within the schools, to the Board of Directors, and, since 1996, to the Georgetown Advisory Neighborhood Commission.[72] New Student Orientation is the sponsored student organization responsible for planning and executing the annual orientation and pre-orientation of freshmen and transfers.[73] Georgetown's Army ROTC unit, the Hoya Battalion, is the oldest military unit in the District of Columbia.[74]

Georgetown's student organizations include the nation's oldest debating club, the Philodemic Society,[75] and the oldest continually running dramatic society in the United States, the Mask & Bauble Society.[76] The Georgetown Chimes, founded in 1946, is the University's oldest and only all-male singing group.[77] Other a capella groups on campus include the co-ed Phantoms, the all-female GraceNotes, the all-female international group Harmony, Superfood, and the service-focused Georgetown Saxatones.[71]

Media

The lawn outside Copley Hall is popular for recreation

Georgetown University has several student-run newspapers. The Hoya is the university's oldest newspaper. It has been in print since 1920, and since 1987 has published twice weekly.[78] The Georgetown Voice, known for its weekly cover story, is a newsmagazine which split with The Hoya in order to focus attention on citywide and national issues in addition to news on campus.[79] The Georgetown Independent is a "journal of news, commentary and the arts" published monthly.[80] The Georgetown Academy targets more conservative readers on campus and the Georgetown Federalist, founded in 2006, purports to bring a "conservative and libertarian" viewpoint to campus.[81] The Georgetown Heckler is a humor magazine founded on the internet in 2003 by Georgetown students that released its first print issue in 2007.[82] The university also has a campus-wide television station, GUTV, and a radio station, WGTB.

Campus businesses

In addition to student organizations and clubs, Georgetown University is also home to the nation’s largest entirely student-owned and -operated corporation, Students of Georgetown, Inc.[83] Known today as "The Corp," the business sees gross revenues of roughly $3.3 million a year.[84] Founded in 1972, the Corp operates three coffee shops, two grocery stores, and a video rental service. They also run biannual book sales, box storage, and airport shuttles for students.[85] The Georgetown University Student Investment Fund is one of a few undergraduate-run investment funds in the United States, and recently hosted CNBC's Jim Cramer to tape Mad Money in September 2006.[86]

Activism

Red Square is the main location for activism on campus

Georgetown University student organizations include a diverse array of groups focused on social justice issues, including organizations run through both Student Affairs and the Center for Social Justice. Take Back the Night is an organization of women and men against gender violence which coordinates a yearly rally and march to protest against rape and other forms of violence against women.[87] Georgetown Solidarity Committee is a workers' rights organization whose successes include ending use of sweatshops in producing Georgetown-logoed apparel, and pay raises for both university cleaning staff and police.[88] Georgetown Students for Fair Trade successfully advocated for all coffee in campus cafeteria to be Fair Trade Certified.[89]

Georgetown has groups representing national, ethnic, and linguistic interests. In the fall of 2006, MEChA de Georgetown, which works to improve Chicano recruitment and involvement, brought together a broad coalition of groups as "GU Students United Against Racism" to protest a paid speaking event by Chris Simcox, leader of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps.[90] Georgetown's student body is particularly active in politics; groups based on local, national, and international issues are popular, and free speech is generally respected.[9] The reproductive rights organization H*yas for Choice is not officially recognized by the university, prompting the asterisk in "hoyas".[91] While not supported financially, as their stated position on abortion is in opposition to the school's, they are permitted to meet and table in university spaces.[92] The issue contributes to Georgetown's 'red light' status on free speech under the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education rating system.[93]

Greek life

3401 Prospect St, home to Delta Phi Epsilon, is used by other Greek societies

While Jesuit school are not bound to disassociate from Greek systems, Georgetown University does not officially recognize or fund fraternities, sororities, or secret societies among the student body.[94] Georgetown's Student Affairs Policy specifically prohibits "fraternities and sororities: single sex groups with ritualized, demeaning or secret membership practices, and specifically those organizations affiliated with the national Intrafraternity Council [sic], Pan Hellenic Association, and Pan Hellenic Council" or "secret societies: groups that do not disclose their purpose, membership or activities, or whose purpose, membership or activities are discriminatory" from receiving access to university benefits.[95] While quite a few fraternity and sorority chapters were active at Georgetown before this policy was implemented in the 1960s, most became inactive soon thereafter.[96]

Today, fraternities at Georgetown include Delta Phi Epsilon, a professional foreign service fraternity; Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity; Alpha Phi Omega, a national community service fraternity; Alpha Epsilon Pi; and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Georgetown's chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon was established in 1920, and its members include several deans of the Walsh School of Foreign Service, as well as Jesuits. The Delta Phi Epsilon foreign service sorority is the only sorority active at Georgetown. Georgetown's chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi, affiliated with the campus Hillel, was established in 2002.[97] Sigma Phi Epsilon chartered its chapter as a general social fraternity in 2007.[98] Georgetown University students are also affiliated, in some cases, with fraternities at other nearby universities and colleges.

Speakers and visitors

Gaston Hall is a venue for many speakers

Georgetown University hosts many notable speakers each year, largely due to the success of the Georgetown Lecture Fund and the Office of Communications.[99] These are frequently important scholars and authors, heads of state, U.S. politicians, and religious leaders. Recent authors include Noam Chomsky and Hardball's Chris Matthews.[100] Many heads of state visit Georgetown while in the capital, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,[101] President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai,[99] and Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[102] Politicians like Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,[103] Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts,[104] and Senator Barack Obama have also spoken on campus.[105] The Office of the President hosts numerous symposia on religious topics, such as Nostra Ætate and the Building Bridges Seminar, which hosted the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.[106]

Athletics

Georgetown fields twenty-seven varsity sports teams and twenty club sports teams.[107] The school's teams are called "Hoyas". Sometime after 1866, students well-versed in the classical languages invented the mixed Greek and Latin chant of "hoya saxa", translating roughly as "what (or such) rocks." Shortly after its founding in 1920, students requested Georgetown's newspaper take the name The Hoya rather than The Hilltopper. By 1928, campus sports writers began to refer to teams as the "Hoyas" rather than as the "Hilltoppers."[5] The name was picked up in the local dailies, and became official shortly afterwards. The mascot of Georgetown athletics programs is Jack the Bulldog.

Georgetown teams participate in the NCAA's Division I. The school competes in the Big East Conference in virtually every NCAA sport, though the football team competes in the Division I FCS Patriot League, the lacrosse team in Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the rowing teams in the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges.

The men's basketball team won the NCAA championship in 1984 under coach John Thompson. The current coach is his son, John Thompson III, who coached the team to the Final Four in the 2007 NCAA tournament. The team currently leads the Big East in conference tournament titles with seven and has made 24 NCAA tournament appearances.[17] Well-known team alumni include Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, Allen Iverson, and Jeff Green.[108] Besides basketball, Georgetown is known as a national powerhouse in rowing,[109] sailing,[110] and lacrosse.[111]

Alumni

Main article: list of notable Georgetown University alumni

With 97,384 living alumni, and 3,046 listed in Marquis Who's Who, Georgetown alumni are nationally in the top fifteen most notable.[112] In Congress, five alumni serve in the Senate, and sixteen in the House of Representatives.[16] Besides numerous members of the senior diplomatic corp, many heads of state, including former U.S. president Bill Clinton, are alumni.[16] In law, alumni include a current associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Antonin Scalia, and former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Edward Douglass White.[113] Georgetown graduates have served at the head of diverse institutions, both in the public and private sector, and have headed military organizations on both the national and international level.[16]
