Overview

The Georgetown McDonough MBA has a curriculum designed to prepare you for the global stage, plus the unrivaled access that only Washington, D.C., can offer. Our program is the perfect launchpad for discovering your true strength.

You’ll have access to experienced engaging faculty, gain hands-on consulting knowledge through the Global Business Experience, build your network of over 200,000 alumni, and receive individualized support from the MBA Career Center. You’ll exceed the expectations you never thought were possible.

Pros: Great student community, tons of support from classmates, rigorous academics and easy access to professors, location in DC, heavy student involvement in clubs/extracurriculars, strong leadership from the dean and general sense that school is moving upward in the rankings Cons: somewhat disjointed administration and career services, does not leverage employer network as much as it should, noncompetitive financial aid vs. other schools, tough academics sometimes considered more important than the career search.

This is a great program for anyone who is switching function or field. Classes encourage you to draw upon and use your previous experience as well as give you new tools. In general, you will not end up an industry expert but will be comfortable entering most careers you choose. The school focuses on finance and consulting (especially the career office), but also provide a lot of strong academic background in marketing, strategy, operations, and entrepreneurship. If you are not coming here for your one of the two core tracks, be prepared to be resourceful. The resources are there, but you will need to be a lot more proactive. Read more on OnlineU

Like most MBA programs, the Georgetown MBA FT program is academically rigorous; especially in the first semester. For students without any prior business background or coursework, taking the Accounting, Finance, and Statistics courses at the same time may seem daunting. Thankfully, many classmates will be super friendly CPAs and former Corporate Finance execs eager to help. The collegial atmosphere extends to career development, where we are known to collaborate to help each other prep for interview sessions even when competing for the same position. We believe in a positive karma! The Georgetown network (even beyond the business school - incl undergraduate and SFS alumni) is incredible and students are generally able to contact and network with alumni from other graduate programs for job placement purposes.
