Georgetown University is home to centers, programs, and activities that relate specifically to North America.

The university houses the American Studies Program and engages in extensive collaborations with universities based in Canada. In addition, Georgetown scholars across disciplines address transnational questions with a particular impact on the United States, such as migration and climate change. The university's Washington, D.C. location gives rise to multiple connections with the policy world around global issues.
