Career Outcomes

Each year, Izmirlian Program students experience career success upon graduation. The first two graduating classes of the program, in 2023 and 2024, included job placements in management consulting, finance, technology, government, legal firms, think tanks, and nonprofit organizations. The list of employers includes:

Other graduates have pursued continuing education, including two Fulbright awardees (in Uzbekistan and Taiwan), one Yengchin Scholarship (in China), one fellowship to the National Cheng Chi University (Taiwan), and two law degrees (Columbia University and Georgetown University).

The Izmirlian students also find success during their time at Georgetown. Of the 37 students who graduated as part of the Class of 2024:

• Their average GPA was 3.77
• 14 earned Latin Honors (3 summa cum laude, 8 magna cum laude, 3 cum laude)
• One was the SFS Class Marshal for 2024, earning the highest GPA in the SFS graduating class. (The Class of 2023 included the McDonough School of Business Valedictorian.)

Throughout their program, students receive career support from the Cawley Career Center and the McDonough Career Center. 

 I’ve applied what I learned in BGA to all the internships I’ve done at Georgetown. For one, in my current internship at USAID, I work on global workers rights. I’ve written case studies and conducted research on workers rights issues, skills I learned from Global Organizations and Culture class we took sophomore spring and from the Washington, Business, and the World classes we take each Fall.
