Georgetown McDonough offers seven B.S. in Business Administration (MSBA) majors that allow students to specialize in areas like Accounting, Finance, International Business, Management, Marketing, and Operations and Analytics. Each major combines rigorous coursework, experiential learning, and opportunities to develop practical skills tailored to career goals. Additionally, BSBA majors are required to complete a liberal arts and business core, regardless of their major.

Joint Degrees
We have two joint degree programs that students have the option to apply to at the end of their first year. The Izmirlian Program in Business and Global Affairs is in partnership with the Walsh School of Foreign Service, while the B.S. in International Business and Language and Culture is in partnership with the College of Arts & Sciences.
Dikran Izmirlian Program in Business and Global Affairs
The McDonough School of Business and Walsh School of Foreign Service offer an interdisciplinary Dikran Izmirlian Program in Business and Global Affairs (BGA), preparing students to lead at the intersection of business and policy. The Izmirlian Program features innovative signature courses co-designed and co-taught by teams of McDonough and Walsh faculty and experiential learning in D.C. and around the world. Students apply for the program during their first year.
International Business, Language, and Culture
Jointly offered by Georgetown’s College of Arts & Sciences and McDonough School of Business, the International Business, Language, and Culture (IBLC) degree is a deeply collaborative and interdisciplinary opportunity for Georgetown undergraduates, emphasizing the centrality of cultural and linguistic competency to the business sector, and the ways that language study has always been an avenue to effect change and innovation in the world. By placing language and culture in conversation with business, students are invited to take up vital, global questions of inequality, labor, and human dignity, as well as technological, ethical, and environmental consequences. You can also learn more about the IBLC curriculum on the College’s website.
