Georgetown University is one of several partners featured in our 2022 Transparency & Outcomes Report that collaborate with us to deliver innovative, high-quality online learning experiences that drive strong outcomes for learners around the world. 

Expanding Access

For more than 12 years, Georgetown University has partnered with 2U to bring its world-renowned nursing program to learners across the U.S. and educate the healthcare workforce of the future. 

Together, we have created a series of online graduate degrees that brings Georgetown’s tradition of “caring for the whole person” to communities across the globe. 

Online nursing programs include a Master of Science in Nursing—with specializations in family nursing, women’s health, midwifery, and adult gerontology—as well as a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Post-Graduate Certificates. 

Georgetown also offers 27 open courses and three professional certificates on edX in a variety of STEM and humanities topics. 

Achieving Strong Student Outcomes

Throughout our partnership, the number of graduates going into their communities to make a positive impact has continued to grow. 

By the end of 2022, over 2,700 students had graduated from Nursing@Georgetown degree programs with an average board passage rate of over 96% across all programs. In total, students also clocked over 2 million clinical hours at placement sites across the country and delivered over 14,300 babies.

“I truly enjoy working with Nursing@Georgetown students,” says Gary Foster, a program graduate who’s now a preceptor for 2U as the Director of Clinical Operations at Dallas Agape Clinic. “Not just because I also came from that program, but because I’ve never hosted a single one who hasn’t been prepared. They excel in their ability to jump right in and put themselves to the test.”
