Special Notice

Georgetown MSFS remains open and dedicated to excellence in providing key services to our community. But, in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the decision to shift to a virtual environment, we have decided to suspend all on-site class visits and information sessions. Email MSFS to be connected to an MSFS representative to answer your questions: msfsinfo@georgetown.edu. Available 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET Monday–Friday.

We welcome prospective students to visit MSFS for a virtual information session, or to sit in an online class (arranged by the MSFS Admissions Office). Since we cannot accommodate in-person visits at this time, please schedule your visit using the options below.
