The McDonough School of Business (MSB) attracts a motivated student body with diverse experiences. The MSB is a great place to explore social and environmental issues. The strong focus in international issues is felt throughout the curriculum. An MBA at Georgetown University provides access to a network of lawyers, public policy experts, foreign service officers, health scholars, and academics from across Georgetown’s graduate schools. The key strengths of programs are its D.C. location, its international character, its academic excellence, and its tradition of service. These traits create a culture that is collaborative, open, ethically minded, and engaged with government and social change.

The culture of Georgetown University is deeply rooted in developing global citizens to make a positive difference in the world. The MSB integrates these traditions into an MBA curriculum that is focused on developing principled leaders. Core and elective courses have a strong focus on the broad social impacts of principled leadership, and sufficient courses are available in the MSB and greater university to allow students to incorporate social and environmental themes into their education. The core curriculum integrates social themes into course assignments. Examples of lessons required include marketing analysis of an AIDS awareness campaign in India, finance discussion of the social implications of subsidized home building in Mexico, and business analytic concerns about ethical data collection and representation. Several electives are offered that have a direct focus on social or environmental themes, while leveraging the school’s strengths in finance and entrepreneurship.

As a highly collaborative learning environment, MSB attracts a large number of students with backgrounds in impact fields, and the experiences of these students are regularly discussed in class. Students can take up to 12 course credits at other schools at Georgetown and other area universities. These opportunities allow students to take a broader range of courses that look at social and environmental issues from policy, international, and social science perspectives. Short-term consulting and active learning opportunities are often made available as internships during the academic year.

Students of all backgrounds and careers engage in social impact activities during their time at MSB. The Georgetown Net Impact Chapter hosts several events every year that connect MBA students with the wealth of social impact knowledge and opportunity D.C. has to offer. The Net Impact Trek offers the chance to visit organizations at their offices, while Net Impact Day, Social Impact Week, and speaking events bring distinguished practitioners in international development, ethical business and investing, and nonprofit management to campus to share their experience. Past speakers have represented Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, PSI, and Network for Good.

The Net Impact Service Corps allows students to make a direct impact on local nonprofits while developing real-world consulting skills. The Net Impact Service Corps Net Impact Board Fellows offers students the opportunity to serve on nonprofit boards in the D.C. area. Organizations partnered with for these programs have included Harboring Hearts, MBAs Without Borers, and KIPP D.C. All student organizations at MSB work with a local community partner as part of the greater student body’s commitment to reaching out to the community. The MBA Volunteer club sponsors the annual Month of Volunteerism, where the entire MBA student body comes together for a month of community impact. In past years, students contributed over 1,400 hours to serve at over 100 volunteer events. The Community Fellows program at the MSB rewards students who complete 100 hours of community service during their time in the MBA program with an honorary distinction on their transcript.

Georgetown’s MBA Career Center continues to strengthen its focus on social and environmental recruiting by expanding resources for the nontraditional job search, building new connections with government, international development, and public sector consulting, and deepening its network in Fortune 500 CSR. The McDonough School of Business has a full-time staff member and a second-year student peer advisor who focus exclusively on impact and nonprofit related careers. They work with employers and alumni to develop job and internship opportunities and coach students on their career development and job searches. Georgetown’s MBA Career Center proactively solicits and publishes social impact and environmentally focused job listings. The center works with organizations like the World Bank, IFC, Ashoka, and Education Pioneers to recruit on campus.

MSB features several relevant career treks each year, and there are several nonprofit and government career fairs in D.C., as well as opportunities to network with the Net Impact D.C. professional chapter and an annual trip to the national Net Impact Conference. On campus, the Social Impact Internship Fund provides scholarships to students who accept unpaid internships with nonprofits or the social sector. Georgetown has a strong reputation among D.C.-area organizations, especially in government, federal consulting, and international development.
