Offering graduate work as early as 1873 and establishing graduate degrees in education since 1957, today Georgetown College offers one of the largest and oldest graduate programs of its kind in the Commonwealth. This program thrives because of outstanding, caring faculty, and a flexible convenient course schedule at a cost comparable to that of public institutions in the area. In addition, the college’s Christian character extends to its graduate programs.

In contrast to the undergraduate program, most of Georgetown’s graduate students are education professionals who work full-time in the schools and accomplish their educational objectives around their work schedules. Consistent with Georgetown’s high quality undergraduate teacher certification program, the primary aim of the Graduate Program is to develop scholars who are competent and caring educators, committed to a spirit of service and learning.

All of the graduate courses are offered in the evenings, during the summer months and in a blended online format to accommodate teachers’ schedules.
