Georgetown University has significant academic and outreach relationships in Africa.

The African Studies Program, housed in the School of Foreign Service, is a hub for much of this activity. The university’s Washington, D.C. location facilitates academic and cultural exchanges with Georgetown’s African partners, as does the presence of the World Bank and other leading international organizations.
