EMBA Program Offers Jesuit Values Course
|
|
Beginning January 2018, the Georgetown McDonough Executive MBA (EMBA) program will offer a new course, “The Problems of Work and Life,” that ties Jesuit values to the curriculum.
Many second-year EMBA courses focus on one of Georgetown’s differentiating factors: its location in Washington, D.C.; its Jesuit environment; or its international orientation. “The Problems of Work and Life” is designed to focus on both Georgetown’s Jesuit values and its global concentration.

Consulting Clinic Challenges MSF Students
|
|
On Friday, October 13, Doug Martin (MSF’15) stood in front of the incoming cohort of Georgetown McDonough’s Master of Science in Finance (MSF) program, charged with imparting advice to the new class. Four years ago, he was in the same shoes as those 85 students — anxious to develop both quantitative and qualitative skills, to grow as a leader, and to undergo experiences that would shape his career path. Even though he graduated from the MSF program in 2015, Martin remains tied to Georgetown McDonough through the summer consulting clinic that he helped build. |
