Georgetown University Rankings 2026

Georgetown University QS World University Rankings 2027

Georgetown University ranks #289 in QS World University Rankings 2027, a 4-place slip from the 2026 edition but still well inside its five-year band of #281 to #301. QS, which ranks universities based on academic reputation, employer opinion and research, is the most-watched body among Indian applicants.

The university’s QS line has stayed inside a 20-position corridor for the last five editions, signalling stability rather than momentum.

Across the five-year window, Georgetown University’s QS average is #290.6, with the sharpest decline in 2025 when it crossed the #300 line for the first time. The flat trend tells Indian applicants the QS rank is unlikely to move by more than 15-20 places in the next cycle, so the degree’s QS signal stays predictable through admission and graduation years.

Trend signal: Georgetown University recovered 16 positions between QS 2025 (#301) and QS 2026 (#285), the biggest single-year jump in the window; that bounce is now partly given back in QS 2027.

Collegedunia Study Abroad Rankings of Georgetown University

Collegedunia Study Abroad places Georgetown University at #173 globally and #66 in the USA for 2026, with Law sitting at #15 worldwide as the standout discipline. The India-relevance signal here is the consistent USA-top-40 placement across Law, Social Studies, Health Care and Arts.

The 249-place gap between Georgetown University’s Collegedunia Law rank (#15) and its Computer Science rank (#264) is the widest stream gap among all U.S. universities in the top 200 Collegedunia bracket. For Indian applicants, this confirms Georgetown is a single-vertical pick: choose it for Law and Policy or not at all.

India-relevance: Georgetown University’s USA Law rank (#8) puts it ahead of UC Berkeley, Cornell and Duke on Collegedunia’s India-focused index, even though those universities rank higher overall in QS.

Georgetown University Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings

Georgetown University sits in the 201-250 band in THE World University Rankings 2026, with Law at #19 and Social Sciences at #91. THE, which weights research citations and teaching alongside reputation, has historically ranked Georgetown lower than QS does on the overall list.

The subject-level THE picture, however, mirrors ARWU and Collegedunia closely, especially in Law and Social Sciences.

Georgetown University ARWU (Shanghai) Rankings

Georgetown University sits in the 401-500 band on ARWU 2025, having recovered one band from the 2024 dip into 501-600. ARWU, which ranks universities mainly based on how many research papers they publish and how often those papers are cited, is the toughest ranking body for liberal-arts-heavy universities like Georgetown.

Georgetown University Other Global Rankings

Georgetown University posts its strongest U.S.-domestic numbers on U.S. News and Financial Times, both of which weight reputation, salary outcomes and alumni networks above raw research output. These are the lists Indian applicants will see most often in U.S. MBA and Law admissions consulting decks.

Georgetown University Subject Rankings

Georgetown University’s subject ranks cluster tightly inside the global top 30 across Law, Public Administration, Political Science and Finance, while STEM disciplines sit far lower. The cross-body convergence on Law (top 20 on three bodies) is the clearest subject signal for Indian applicants.

Six of Georgetown University’s twelve ranked subjects sit inside the global top 100, with four inside the top 30. The 588-place gap between the best subject (Law #13) and the weakest (Computer Science 601-800) is the widest single-university subject spread among U.S. national top-25 universities on this page.

Georgetown University’s rank pattern rewards specialists more than generalists. Indian students targeting Law, Public Policy, Political Science or finance-track masters will find Georgetown sitting inside the global top 30 on at least three ranking bodies, even while its overall QS line stays near #289. STEM applicants need to weigh the 580-place gap between Georgetown’s THE Law rank (=19) and its THE Computer Science rank (601-800) before applying.
