Alumni Comments on the Program
"The MA program's integration of real world application and in-class theory provides students a unique opportunity to participate in government and politics. The program's emphasis on developing superior communication skills are essential for individuals set on working in both the public and private sector."
"The MA program will provide students with a unique combination of technical and communication skills while encouraging creativity to prepare them for leadership positions that require a clear vision to address complex issues."
"Georgetown University's Master's in American Government program provides students with an excellent opportunity to bridge the academic with the practical. In only one year, I gained the theoretical foundations of a graduate-level program while simultaneously seeing 'government in action' during my internship at the Office of Management and Budget."
"I was recently promoted at Synergy Enterprises, Inc to Administrator of the Division of Assessment and Evaluation Services. Synergy prides itself on our focus on the nation's public health and education capacitiies. I assist with daily oversight of 36 staff across more than 20 federal contracts and I have a place at the table for marketing and corporate decision making. I am sure that coming into the company with my master's in American Government from Georgetown helped pave the way for my swift rise."
