The McCourt School of Public Policy is one of eleven constituent schools of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.[1] The McCourt School offers master's degrees in public policy, international development policy, policy management,[2] data science for public policy,[3] and policy leadership[4] as well as administers several professional certificate programs[5] and houses fifteen affiliated research centers.[6] The McCourt School has twenty-one full-time faculty members, ten visiting faculty members, more than one-hundred adjunct faculty members and approximately 450 enrolled students across the various degree and executive education programs.

The school is based in Old North, the oldest academic building on Georgetown University's main campus.[7] Formerly known as the Georgetown Public Policy Institute (GPPI), the McCourt School became Georgetown University's ninth school in October 2013 as a result of a $100 million gift from Georgetown University alumnus Frank McCourt.[8]
