Georgetown University and Hemispheric affairs
Georgetown University is widely known as a magnet for students interested in international studies. Today, students from over a hundred nations have chosen to pursue their education at Georgetown. In this century, the Edmund A. Walsh, S.J. School of Foreign Service has provided a focus for Georgetown’s presence in the international community.
It must be noted, however, that a strong international orientation dates from the earliest days of John Carroll’s Academy on the Potomac. At the time of our founding in 1789, American colleges were local, or at most regional schools. In New England, for example, an estimated 91% of the students were natives of the region. In contrast, Carroll’s academy was from the beginning a national, indeed international, school. In the first decade nearly one-fifth of its students came from outside the United States, including many from the Caribbean area.
