Georgetown University comprises two unique campuses in the nation’s capital. With the Hilltop Campus located in the heart of the historic Georgetown neighborhood, and the Capitol Campus, just minutes from the U.S. Capitol and U.S. Supreme Court, Georgetown University offers rigorous academic programs, a global perspective, and unparalleled opportunities to engage with Washington, D.C. Our community is a close-knit group of remarkable individuals driven by intellectual inquiry, a commitment to social justice, and a shared dedication to making a difference in the world.

Tradition. Innovation. A superb faculty. Hundreds of course offerings — and all of this just steps away from the Capitol and Supreme Court.

Most of all, they come because this is the place where theory and practice meet. At Georgetown, students learn the law in the place where laws are made.
