Biology of Global Health Offers Interdisciplinary Opportunities

Georgetown's science departments are not very well known, but one major stands out in the sciences. As a biology major, you have the option of choosing one of three specialized bio majors in your sophomore year. One of these majors, Biology of Global Health, offers the scientific focus crossed with many disciplines, including ethics and policy. The Biology of Global Health major really shows how Georgetown really fosters an interdisciplinary approach to education.

Students: Unique, Involved, Global

The most unique thing about Georgetown is the student body. On my first day of class freshman year a professor had every student say "The one thing that differentiates them from every other student that applied." It was incredible to hear the responses, every single student had some defining experience or characteristic that really set them apart. That uniqueness carries over through all four years. Georgetown enables students to take advantage of living in D.C. The vast majority of students either get a job or an internship in D.C. before they graduate. Finally, Georgetown is an incredibly global university. Not only are there options to study nearly every subject with an international perspective but nearly everyone you meet has traveled the globe.
