The McGhee Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies was an overseas academic center operated by Georgetown University, in Alanya, Turkey. The McGhee Center was founded in 1989 after Ambassador George Crews McGhee, former United States Ambassador to Turkey and West Germany, donated his Mediterranean villa to Georgetown University to create a center for the study of the history and culture of Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean. The McGhee Center was academically affiliated with Koç University and offered three types of programming: semester abroad, the Summer Institute in Intensive Turkish Language, and study tours and short programs. Student programming at the McGhee Center was suspended in Fall 2016.
