The Program Alumni College rests on the belief that literature and art, science and government, philosophy and theology all the various disciplines that engage undergraduates during their four brief years at Georgetown can continue to speak with power and insight to men and women throughout their lives and guide them toward some answers to the abiding human questions none can for long escape. We find no easy answers, either in the classroom or in the world outside, but we must all give answers halting, tentative but answers nonetheless. Alumni College is an invitation to step for a time from the noisy road on which most of us walk each day, to return to the quiet of the classroom and, in conversation with alumni, parents, teachers, and friends, consider once again what answers might be good and true. Each course meets for two periods with an introductory period in the morning and a concluding lecture in the afternoon.
Participants can take three courses during the day.
