The School of Nursing was founded in 1903. To this day, it intentionally focuses on Georgetown’s Jesuit tradition and academic excellence, and cura personalis — or the caring for the whole person. Nursing learners train to always focus on every individual’s unique needs and life circumstances, and to celebrate the talents their patients bring to their community. The school supports an academic environment that is equitable, diverse, inclusive, and respectful, and places great value on social justice, equity of health, and human rights.
Tuition range$76,500 - $188,700Tuition and fees are subject to change and may increase each academic year. Tuition does not include student fees, technology platform licensing, or support services. Learners are also responsible for travel and accommodation costs related to any in-person immersions or residentials.
