Office of Undergraduate Admissions

Georgetown University, with its tradition of Jesuit education, a location in Washington, DC, and a distinguished community of scholars from around the world, is a vibrant place to live and learn. We are pleased you have chosen to learn more about the opportunities for undergraduate students that await you here at Georgetown. To ensure that you receive timely communication from our office, invitations to Georgetown events in your hometown area, we welcome you to join our mailing list. We also welcome you to explore what Georgetown has to offer via this brochure . 

Applying to Georgetown

We believe you will find Georgetown’s application process highly personalized. Georgetown uses its own application for admission and we are able to coordinate an alumni interview for nearly all candidates. While a candidate’s academic performance is the most important criteria under consideration, accomplishments outside of the classroom, demonstrated commitment to the broader community, and personal qualities such as resiliency, motivation and ambition are certainly considered. It is these qualities that make you an individual and someone who will uniquely add to – and benefit from – the Georgetown University community. We look forward to getting to know you.

Plan a Visit

To experience the university’s rich environment, we invite you to visit our campus or to gather with us online for a virtual information session and student panel. Please see the Visit Georgetown page to register for an upcoming event.

The university enrolls more than 6,300 undergraduates from all 50 states and over 130 countries; approximately a third of all students are fluent in more than one language when they arrive on campus. Whether you hail from a small, rural community or a major metropolitan area – or somewhere in between – you will find a place among Georgetown’s dynamic and talented community of students.

Georgetown’s commitment to ensuring a diverse student body is evidenced through its need-blind admission process and its commitment to meet 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all eligible students. Every undergraduate applicant receives admission consideration without regard to his or her financial circumstances. Once admitted, every student will have his or her demonstrated financial need met in full. Visit Diversity and Access page of our website to learn more about the Georgetown’s diverse community.

Explore Indigenous art at Dalhousie with this self‑guided walking tour

Tanis Trainor - June 4, 2024

Art is everywhere — from paintings and sculptures to dance and music, in clothing, perfumes, and cuisine. It defines and shapes our sense of place, in architecture, green spaces, furniture, and decorations.  

At Dalhousie, you don’t need to go far to find all of the above.

To celebrate National Indigenous History Month — a time to recognize the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis — this self-guided walking tour will guide you around some of the campus buildings and spaces that pay tribute to Indigenous artists, ceremonies, and stories. 

Starting at the Henry Hicks Building .

The garden also features two commissioned benches by Jim and Cheryl Walsh, installed at Dalhousie's 2023 Mawio'mi.

In the master plan

The vision for Dalhousie's physical spaces is layed out in Dalhousie's Master Plan documents , and encourages creating and identifying opportunities for art.

On the Truro campus, art is often tied to the development of the Landscape Architecture program through garden walls, sculpture, kinetic sculpture, and environmental art through plant and tree species.

"It would be wonderful to get more pieces around campus. Art is integral to creating a climate of belonging," says Sherida Hassanali, assistant dean for equitiy, diversity, inclusion and accessibly in the Faculty of Engineering.

Collections on campus

The Dalhousie Art Gallery’s permanent collection contains over 1,400 works including contemporary and historical paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, photography, mixed media works, and artifacts. These pieces are displayed through exhibitions at the gallery, across campus, or in the vault. 

The loans on campus program exists as a way to place pieces in offices, meeting rooms, and public spaces such as libraries, learning commons, study spaces, and foyers. 

“One of the reasons I got into curatorial practice was to support the work of artists from diverse communities and to recognize the importance of regional makers,” says Pamela Edmonds, director and curator of the Dal Art Gallery.

"Over the next five years, it's a priority for me to add both Indigenous and African Nova Scotian pieces to our permanent collection."
