Dear Friends and Colleagues:

For more than 50 years, the School of Continuing Studies has fulfilled Georgetown University’s mission of educational outreach and inclusivity by offering a wide range of degrees and applied learning opportunities to a diverse community of students and professionals.

More recently, it has answered the charge of “Reflective Engagement” through applied learning — bringing insights from the classroom to the broader community and from the community into the classroom through active participation.

To do this, the School brings the industry’s top experts into the classroom exposing students to the most current political, societal, and financial issues surrounding growing and important career fields, and then shares the outcomes of this learning with the public.

The degrees and programs found within the Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies bring theory to practice, offering students opportunities to fully interact with and improve the world around them. Rigorous academic programs, led by experts in their fields, provide the opportunity for students to excel academically and professionally.

Through the insight of these experts, students gain a better understanding of problems faced in their industry, then develop and apply real solutions. As a result, the impact of student work is felt not only within the classroom, but within the many industries our students serve. Students are not only gaining experience on their behalf, but are also solving problems in a real-world setting.

The world is changing faster than ever before. And, society’s needs for professionals trained in specific, specialized areas is also growing.

I invite you to browse our web site, and I hope to speak with you at an upcoming Information Session and Reception. And, as always, feel free to stop by and visit the School of Continuing Studies any time to learn about this special community that graduates leaders who are changing their lives and changing the world around them.


Best wishes,


Robert L. Manuel, PhD
Dean, School of Continuing Studies
