In addition to expressing congratulations, let's take you through this article to understand the characteristics of Georgetown University Law Center and the LL.M project.

Georgetown University Law Center is a law school founded in 187 and attached to Georgetown University. Thanks to the geographical advantages of Washington, DC, the capital of the United States, students in Georgetown have access to lectures, internships and volunteer activities organized by various world organizations from the US Congress to the headquarters of the World Bank.

Georgetown University Law Center is a member of the traditional T14 Law School. Although in American News and World Report (U.S. News &; World Report，USN& Wr) fell out of the top 14 in the ranking of law schools in the United States in 218, but it has already been in USN&; WR regained the 14th place in the 219 National Law School Rankings.

In addition to outstanding performance in the overall ranking of law schools, Georgetown University Law Center is in a leading position in many legal professional fields. For example, in USN&; In WR's professional field ranking in 219, Georgetown University Law Center ranked first in law clinic training, second in tax law and third in international law. In addition, in a survey on the starting salary of law school graduates, Georgetown University Law Center ranked sixth.

the LL.M project of Georgetown university law center is divided into general projects and professional projects. General projects have the highest degree of freedom in course selection, and students can work out the most suitable course arrangement according to their own interests and plans for the future.

if students want to be more specialized in specific fields during their studies, they can choose professional projects. However, compared with general projects, professional projects will have more restrictions on course selection.

Georgetown University Law Center actively cooperates with educational institutions all over the world. If you are not satisfied with just earning an LL.M degree, you can consider a dual-degree program or a joint degree program.

this program requires students to complete their basic studies in Hautes é tudes Commerciales de Paris (HEC Paris) in the first two semesters.

In the following academic year, I completed my legal education in Georgetown University Law Center. Upon completion of the project, students will receive an LL.M degree from Georgetown University Law Center and an MBA degree from Paris Business Institute.

In addition to the MBA program, Georgetown University Law Center has a double-degree cooperation with HEC Paris in the Master's in Management program.

I believe that studying in two world-renowned universities at the same time can provide sufficient support for future career development. After completing the project, students will receive an LL.M degree from Georgetown University Law Center and a master's degree in management from Paris Business Institute.

Georgetown University Law Center and Sciences Po Paris)*** * jointly set up a dual-degree program of LL.M and Master's in International Affairs.
