McCourt Ambassadors
One of the biggest advantage McCourt could offer is its unique location at the heart of the nation. On a weekly basis, you are able to interact and converse with impressive speakers who work at the forefront of policy making.
I believe the McCourt School of Public Policy is an institution that builds the leaders that the world needs and will enable me to become a better public servant.
I chose McCourt for its location in Washington DC, the emphasis on quantitative, technical skills, and for the tight-knit community and incredible support for McCourt students.

Commitment to Inclusion
Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy aspires to become the most inclusive public policy school in the nation. Inclusivity is a core value at McCourt because public policies are more effective when our political and policy decision makers reflect the perspectives and lived experience of the communities they serve, and being able to work across differences is a fundamental skill we seek to cultivate.
