Health Care Management/ Pre Med

incredibly eye opening and lots of resources, great program. also an econ minor and currently premed but probably not sticking with it. hcmp helps you see you can be a healthcare professional and make a difference/help people even if you aren't interested in being a doctor. the only downside is that theres a definite liberal spin, which is great if you're a liberal, but it provides a very one sided view of the health system and how to change it. it isn't very objective.

High Quality Professors

In my experience at Georgetown, my professors have been really intelligent and passionate about their students and teaching in general. Even professors who do conduct research through the university seem to place teaching as their top priority. Because these teachers are so passionate, the workload is pretty rigorous but also rewarding. The professors are very available outside of class and are very willing to go the extra mile to help a student. Additionally, Georgetown has a lot of student run tutoring centers that are free. Overall, there a lot of resources for students if they chose to use them. The aspect of academic life at Georgetown that I have been most impressed by so far is that my professors teach in a way that is highly applicable; they aren’t just teaching us for the sake of giving us knowledge. Instead, they actually want us to be able to use and apply what we learn to help people.

Academics at Georgetown University

Georgetown offers fascinating courses. I enjoyed "Gandhi's India". The class viewed films, read one work of fiction, read various written works on subjects such as Buddhism and other religions in India, History, and held discussions on the readings, films and social structure of India. We also did three papers, including a twenty-page final research paper. The work was very hard but very good.

The library at Georgetown is outstanding and the personnel there very helpful. Books on Gandhi are plentiful. The professor was himself from India.

In every class I've taken at Georgetown I have found my level of enjoyment and, student support and resources available, to be consistently outstanding.
