Ranked among the nation’s most distinguished institutions of higher learning, the success of the University’s philosophy and endeavors is reflected in its enrollment and applicant pool. Its student body, one of the most geographically diverse in the country, consists of individuals from all 50 states and 132 foreign countries, while only 21 percent of its applicants for the freshman class of 2011 were accepted. In the classroom, the University offers state-of- the-art facilities, while holding less than an 8-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. Today more than 13,000 students are enrolled in undergraduate and gradu- ate programs at Georgetown University, served by more than 1,200 full time and 450 part time faculty. 700 full-time and 350 part-time professors teach undergraduates on the main campus. Dis- tinguished professors include former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former Director of the CIA George Tenet, best-selling author and linguist Deborah Tannen, former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, and former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar. Recent visiting faculty include Grammy-winner Bobby McFerrin and acclaimed author Mario Vargas Llosa.
