The McDonough School of Business is one of four undergraduate and one of five graduate schools at Georgetown University.

[edit] Academics
The McDonough School core courses in the traditional disciplines of accounting, finance, marketing, management, and the decision sciences support these themes. Additionally these themes are supported by the McDonough School's strong support of a minor concentration in one of the nearly 50 liberal arts disciplines. Undergraduate concentrations include Accounting, Finance, International Business, Management, Marketing, and Operations and Information Management.
Several academic themes distinguish the McDonough School of Business and give the school a special identity among managers and academicians, including international and intercultural dimensions of the marketplace, the importance of written and oral communication, and interpersonal effectiveness in organizations. Georgetown is currently in the process of constructing a new building to serve as a center for the McDonough School's academics.

[edit] Graduate school
Graduate work offered by the school includes a day and evening Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, and an International Executive MBA, a Global Executive MBA as well as an Executive Master in Leadership and a Global Executive MBA. The Georgetown MBA Program is a general management program oriented toward those with liberal arts, science, or technical undergraduate degrees. The Program is a two-year, full-time program without majors or concentrations. The MBA evening program (EP) is targeted towards the working professional who is likely to possess a deeper work experience than the typical full-time student. It is taught by the same faculty as the full-time MBA Program, and covers the same academic content. The International Executive MBA (IEMBA) program provides experienced professionals with the tools needed to excel in today's global business environment. The IEMBA every-alternate-week class structure means students can stay on the job, immediately putting their new knowledge to work. The Global Executive MBA (GEMBA), for highly accomplished managers and executives, is exceptional program offered in partnership with the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and ESADE Business School. The program consists of six 11-day modules in Washington DC, Barcelona, Sao Paolo, Bangalore, Moscow and New York. The Executive Master's in Leadership (EML) degree is a distinctive program that focuses on the passion, purpose, and practical skills necessary for effective leadership. The Master's program analyzes leadership as a set of skills on three different levels of analysis: individual, interpersonal, and institutional.
