International Students

The Georgetown MS-ESM Program is proud of its international students and the important perspectives that you add to our community. As an international student, you have access to several resources to help ease your transition to life as a student in the United States. Please make sure to review the information below thoroughly.

Section Highlights

• I-20 Process – how to begin your visa process. You may only begin this process after (1) You confirm your intent to enroll at Georgetown University and pay the required admissions deposit, and (2) ESM creates your record in the University database.
  
  Note: It is strongly recommended that students begin this process as soon as you receive an invitation to the immigration portal via OGS. Final immigration process deadlines will be posted on the OGS website.
  
• Office of Global Services (OGS) – serves as a resource for schools, faculty, and administrators engaged globally and for international students and scholars here on campus. OGS will be your resource for all things immigration documents and supporting you in your studies in the U.S.
• International Private Lenders – Two private lenders provide education loans specifically to international students: MPOWER Financing and Prodigy Finance

*Check back on this website in January for more details about I-20 deadlines and how to begin the process.
