Details
Georgetown University GHD Scholarship Program offers students a fully funded two-year Master’s degree to build the quantitative skills, subject matter expertise, and client project portfolio that serves as a strong foundation for their career in international development.
The goal of the Global Human Development (GHD) Program is to prepare students – through coursework, internships, extra-curricular activity, and practical field work – to understand the challenges of international development and provide the tools to address those challenges as successful professionals.
Qualifications
Applicants to the Global Human Development (GHD) Program should meet the following requirements:
- A Bachelor’s degree.
- Completion of courses in introductory macro- and microeconomics and statistics, with a grade of B or better (or the equivalent, if a different grading system is used). Students must complete these requirements prior to enrolling in the program, and, given that we evaluate applications holistically, applicants who have not yet completed the required courses are not at a disadvantage during the admissions process. This requirement is intended to give students the quantitative foundation that they need prior to their first semester in the GHD program. If applicants did not earn a B or better in one of the prerequisite courses, or if they took the courses more than two years ago, they may be advised to take less formal refresher courses prior to starting the program.
- Ability to function effectively in English and one other language (students must pass an oral proficiency exam before graduation, so ideally they will have a reasonable command of one foreign language before entering the program).
- At least 1-2 years of full-time work experience post-undergraduate degree is strongly recommended.
- Experience living, studying, and working outside of the United States is strongly recommended.
Documents
To be considered for the scholarships, applicants must submit all required application materials:
- Online application
- Personal statement
- Supplemental data sheet
- Official transcripts and test scores (GREs and TOEFL/IELTS)
- Three letters of recommendation
