General Information:
The mission of the School of Continuing Studies (SCS) is to deliver a world-class education to a diverse array of communities and individuals throughout their academic and professional careers; to improve employability and develop workforces; and to contribute to building a civic-minded, well-informed, and globally aware society.
SCS offers a wide range of degree programs and applied learning experiences to a broad and inclusive community of students and professionals.

These positions will work with both Summer High School Sessions and Summer Sessions. Summer High School Sessions are a chance for motivated students to take courses that interest them, taught by renowned Georgetown professors, who will challenge them to think like college students. Over one, two, three, or five weeks in Washington D.C., they will gain friends from all over the world and a new sense of independence to help them get ahead. Summer Sessions offers over 250 courses in a diverse range of subjects. Students are able to explore new interests or get ahead in their studies while spending the summer living and learning in Washington, D.C., on Georgetown’s historic hilltop campus. Summer Sessions also includes our Summer Honors Institutes, international students who join us from partner institutions abroad.
