Georgetown University, a major international research university with nine schools, an affiliated hospital, and many highly-ranked academic programs, has a mature, layered security program. The university has more than 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students taking classes at five locations, including Washington, D.C., and Georgetown’s campuses in Qatar, Italy and Abu Dhabi. The university’s Capitol Campus has expanded significantly in recent years through acquisition and new construction, which has brought new security challenges.
