How to apply 

You will submit an online application to apply to any School of Foreign Service graduate program. Each program has specific admission requirements that must be included with this application. 

Admissions details 

The School of Foreign Service graduate programs manage our own admissions and some financial aid processes. All applicants to these programs must submit an online application form to the Office of Graduate Admissions. You must prepare your program-specific required materials to be considered for admission. 

If you are applying to the joint degree with the McDonough School of Business, you must submit your application through the Business School.

Reapplication 

If you have previously applied to a Georgetown University graduate program, you must submit a new application and new application materials. Materials from a prior application, such as letters of recommendation, transcripts and statements of purpose, cannot be reused. There are nuances involved in reapplication, though, and we recommend you reach out to your program of interest to discuss if you wish to reapply.

Official test scores previously sent to the Office of Graduate Admissions that have not expired can be reused. Please note: 

• GRE and GMAT scores are valid for five years from the date of the test. 
• TOEFL and IELTS scores are valid for two years from the date of the test.
• If you have retaken any of these tests, be sure to request that the testing agency send the most recent official scores to Georgetown.
