Renowned as a center of international dialogue, Georgetown University is a venue that international leaders often choose to state their positions and calls for action. During your eight days in Washington, you and your classmates will explore complex global issues and dilemmas ranging from terrorism and nuclear weapons to military occupations and humanitarian crises.  As a participant in enlightening lectures and engaging discussions, you will learn from distinguished Georgetown faculty and prominent guest speakers who have been key players in international diplomacy and crisis management. Past speakers have included leaders from the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Counterterrorism Center, and the International Organization for Migration.

Your course of study includes topics ranging from security and economics to U.S. foreign policy, international law, and ethics. Field trips take you to a number of Washington institutions that shape foreign policy, including Congress and foreign embassies; past visits have also included the Islamic Center and the Organization of American States. Learn how to think about issues, analyze international dynamics, project possible outcomes, and test your new skills as a decision maker in an international crisis simulation.
