Apply

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions encourages you to learn more about the admissions process by exploring the information on our website. You are able to apply to our undergraduate programs in three different ways: as a first year applicant, a transfer applicant, or a visiting student.

Apply as a First-Year Student

The first year application track is designed for students currently in high school or those who have graduated but have not yet enrolled in a degree-seeking program at another college or university. Even if you have earned college credits through dual-enrollment programs while in high school, you should still apply as a first-year student.

First-Year Application Information

Apply as a Transfer Student

If you have already begun your undergraduate career, and completed at least 12 transferable credits at another institution (after graduating from high school), you should apply as a transfer student. This track is for those looking to transition their existing academic progress into Georgetown’s rigorous and values-based environment.

Transfer Application Information

Take Courses as a Visiting Student

The Visiting Student Program is meant for non-degree-seeking students who wish to take one or two classes at Georgetown. This is the ideal choice for those looking to supplement their education with Georgetown’s unique resources without seeking a permanent transfer or Georgetown degree.
