Georgetown’s undergraduate Journalism Program provides a bridge between an interdisciplinary, service-oriented liberal arts education and the practice of journalism, drawing on the university’s vast academic resources while bringing some of the top reporters in the nation and the world to campus, and students to newsrooms and newsmaking events in Washington, D.C. and beyond.
Learn More About The Program
Georgetown graduates have earned Pulitzer Prizes, Emmy and Peabody Awards, and held key reporting and editorial management roles at some of the profession’s top news outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, CNN, and elsewhere. Others have put their own safety on the line in service of the truth, including Austin Tice (SFS ’02).
The Journalism Program regularly welcomes working professionals to campus for talks, workshops, and informal conversations with students and the wider community. Editors, reporters, producers and media innovators visit throughout the semester to share firsthand insight into how newsrooms operate today—from breaking news coverage to long-form investigative work to the evolving business models reshaping the industry.

We hope all of this will help you better understand the world in which we live and the forces that shape the information that reaches us. This reporting is rooted in hard data and research — and, as with the best journalism, human stories.”
