The Graduate School is the academic dean's office for all graduate students. Our job is to help you succeed in your chosen field of study so that you can leave Georgetown having achieved your degree objectives.  

The Dean and the staff of the Graduate School monitor program quality and each student's degree progress under policies established by the faculty through our Executive Committee.  The policies governing graduate student enrollment and degree progress will be found in the Graduate School Bulletin.  

The Graduate School provides merit-based financial aid directly to students through the award of scholarships, assistantships, and non-service fellowships, and cooperates with the Office of Student Financial Services to administer need-based aid.  
 
We work closely with a faculty member in every program who serves as the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS).  Please do not hesitate to contact us or your DGS if you have any questions about degree requirements, financial aid, or other matters that affect your pursuit of a master's or doctoral degree.
