PUULIC POLICY PROGRAM
26 September 1985
Exeout
85- 3809
We would like to take this opportunity to acquaint you with the Georgetown
University Master's in Public Policy Program. The M.P.P. program was first
instituted in 1980-1981, and is dedicated to training those who desire a strong
grounding in the political and economic dimensions of governmental policy-
making. We have enclosed a brochure which gives further details concerning our
program of study and faculty.
One of the strengths of the Georgetown M.P.P. program is that students are
encouraged to undertake an internship that in some manner maintains a public
policy emphasis. We are writing to you to ask whether you have any such
internships available. Internships can be paid or unpaid, and usually range
anywhere from 15 to 40 hours per week. Let us just add that we believe
our students are highly qualified for the task at hand. They have previously
attended many of the finest undergraduate institutions in the country, and on
graduate standardized tests, they tend to rank in the 85th-90th percentile.
If you do have an internship opening that you think would be beneficial to
our students, please fill out the enclosed internship form and return it to our
office. If you haves any questions concerning our program and internship
procedure, please call us at 625-4963/4540, or contact Don Giannella, Program
Assistant, at 625-4542.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

equivalent, at least a B average in undergraduate work, a
major in political science, and at least the equivalent of six
credit hours in economics. Students with related undergradu-
ate majors and a minimum of twelve undergraduate credit
hours in political science will also be considered. In certain
cases, the admissions committee may require remedial under-
graduate work.
Prospective students may receive application forms from
the Office of Graduate Admissions, The Graduate School,
Georgetown University, 37th and "0" Streets, Washington, D.C.
20057, [phone]. Those students who wish to be con-
sidered for scholarship assistance must apply by February 1,
prior to the fall semester for which they wish to enroll. All
applications received prior to June I will be considered for
admission. Applications and all supporting documents must be
sent to the Office of Graduate Admissions, The Graduate

mitted by all applicants.

will be offered in the fall and spring semesters. Full-time stu-
dents can expect to complete their course work in three
semesters, not including optional summer sessions. Port-time
students will normally need six semesters. To accommodate
the schedules of many of our part-time students who are
Washington professionals, required courses are taught through-
out the year during the evening hours.
Transfer of Credit
Transfer of credit for graduate work satisfactorily completed at
another recognized university and other like institutions, may
be applied for after satisfactory completion of at least twelve
semester hours at Georgetown University. Such transfer of
credit, ordinarily not to exceed a total of six semester hours
from all sources, will be granted upon approval of the Program
Director and the Dean of the Graduate School.
Tool Requirements All students must be familiar with simple
analytical techniques based on the rudiments of college
algebra and introductory calculus. Otherwise they will be re-
quired to take a special non-credit course, Mathematics for the
Social Sciences. In addition, they will be expected to dem-
onstrate basic competence in statistics and computer tech-
nology at a level adequate to conduct social science research.
This requirement can be met by: (a) submitting acceptable
evidence of acquired competence; or (b) passing an examina-
tion administered semi-annually on the University campus at
the beginning of each.semester, or (c) completing designated
courses available on campus on a pass/fail basis.

Other Requirements
Except where otherwise stipulated, this program falls under
the same rules and regulations as other Georgetown University
Master's degree programs. Information about these require-
ments, as well as campus facilities available to all students can
be obtained from the Georgetown School Catalogue available
in the Graduate Admissions Office of the Graduate School.
The Degree
Graduates of the program receive a Masters in Public Policy
(M.P.P).
The Graduate School
The Georgetown University Graduate School was established
in 1820, making it one of the oldest post-graduate schools in
the nation. The approximately 2,000 students currently en-
rolled in the Graduate School are distributed among a large
number of academic departments, interdisciplinary programs,
and specialized schools offering advanced degrees. The vari-
ety of programs offered by the Graduate School permits stu-
dents who are seeking competence in a particular field to
also acquire knowledge in any number of related, relevant
areas of study. Other Graduate School programs that may be
of interest to students of Public Policy include the Master of
Science in Foreign Service Program, the National Security
Studies Program, and the Master's of Business Administra-
tion. Students may also benefit from the graduate school's
close association with the Health Policy Institute, the Ken-
nedy Institute for Bioethics and the Center for Strategic and
International Studies. The Department of Government is an
active member in the Inter-university Consortium for Politi-
cal and Social Research (ICPSR), and maintains a com-
prehensive data collection.
The ('niwnity
hounded in 1789 by John Carroll, Georgetown University is
the oldest Catholic institution of higher learning in the United
States. On March I. 1815, an Act of Congress granted the
University the power to confer degrees, and in 1844 the
Congress formally incorporated the institution. Georgetown
granted its first graduate degree in 1821 and its first doctoral
degree in 1897.
Today, Georgetown University is one of the leading
institutions of higher learning in the United States. The com-
bination of a large and highly qualified faculty, a select stu-
dent body, and a prestigious location in the nation's capital has
helped spread Georgetown's reputation for excellence world-
wide. The University faculty comprises some 400 full-time
and 500 pan-time professors and lecturers. Student enrollment
(graduate and undergraduate) totals 12,000.
