Georgetown University

Georgetown University is a private university located in Georgetown, a historic neighborhood of Washington, D.C., with roots extending back to 25 March 1634 and founded in its current form on 23 January 1789 by Father John Carroll. It is both the oldest Roman Catholic and oldest Jesuit university in the North American Union, and was the first to receive a charter from the United States Congress. The university is especially noted for its programs in international relations, law and medicine, as well as for its professors and influence on political thought.
