The Graduate School is the academic office for all graduate students. Our job is to help you succeed in your chosen field of study so that you can leave Georgetown having achieved your degree objectives. The Dean and the staff of the Graduate School monitor program quality and each student's degree progress under policies established by the faculty through our Executive Committee.
The policies governing graduate student enrollment and degree progress can be found in the Graduate School Bulletin. We work closely with a faculty member in every program who serves as the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS). Please do not hesitate to contact us or your DGS if you have any questions about degree requirements, financial aid, or other matters that affect your pursuit of your graduate degree.
Students in Medical Center graduate programs are considered part of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, but receive many of their services through Biomedical Graduate Education (BGE). Home to more than 900 trainees studying in Ph.D., master's, certificate and postdoctoral programs, BGE provides access to renowned Georgetown faculty and experts from the local community for personalized mentoring, internships and networking. Students may visit BGE online at biomedicalprograms.georgetown.edu or in person at SE 108 Medical-Dental Building, 3900 Reservoir Road NW. Contact BGE at 202-687-8409 or biomedgrad@georgetown.edu.

Georgetown University-Library of Congress Connection

The Library of Congress, with 142 million items in 21 separate reading rooms, is one of the world’s great research collections. LC welcomes public use of its general reference facilities, but it can be bewildering because of its size and complexity. The Georgetown University-Library of Congress Connection streamlines access for Georgetown University’s faculty and students to LC’s collections and services as a supplement to Georgetown University Library’s resources. Just fill out the GU-LC Connection form to initiate a research consultation with a curator at LC; schedule an orientation for yourself or your class; or check availability of a conference room where a class could make use of materials from the LC collections.
