Georgetown's McCourt launches accelerated BA-to-MPP pathway for undergraduates

Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy now offers an accelerated BA/Master of Public Policy pathway for eligible undergraduate students at Georgetown. The program is designed to let students link their bachelor’s studies with graduate training at McCourt, the university’s public policy school located in Washington, D.C.

McCourt’s accelerated option joins a growing set of combined-degree programs that aim to streamline the path from undergraduate study to professional policy credentials. The pathway is housed within Georgetown and connects undergraduate coursework with the Master of Public Policy curriculum at McCourt, allowing students to pursue advanced policy training while still enrolled as undergraduates.

Officials at Georgetown position the accelerated BA/MPP as a way to prepare students for public service and policy careers in the nation’s capital and beyond. The McCourt School is a major node in Washington’s policy ecosystem; its graduates often move into government, nonprofits, consulting, and advocacy roles across the city and federal agencies.

Information about eligibility, application steps, course planning, and deadlines is available through McCourt’s admissions materials and Georgetown’s undergraduate advising offices. Prospective students are directed to the school’s official pages for program specifics and enrollment guidance.
