Congratulations and welcome to the McCourt School!

You’ve decided you want to be a part of something important. To do big things. To turn your passion into a lasting impact.

You are joining a community of “impatient changemakers”– problem solvers, called to action for one another and with one another– to take on the world’s challenges. You’re needed now, more than ever.

We need more optimists and engineers like you, who will build bridges from research to practice, from evidence to action, from our work to the communities we serve. We are very excited for you, and all impatient changemakers, to join us.

We will be updating this site regularly, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back frequently over the course of the spring & summer. If you have any general questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at mccourtadmissions@georgetown.edu.
