Point of Contact
Prof. Sky Sitney, Interim Program Director, rs154@georgetown.edu.
Philosophy of research
Internships, independent studies, and capstone projects (which may include short films, podcasts, interactive digital media projects, scripts or screenplays, and/or analytic essays).
How to get started
The capstone sequence is both semesters senior year and is required for all our students. Students learn about internship opportunities through our weekly program newsletter as well as other sources (eg Career Center, external list-serves).
How to get connected with a faculty mentor
Students typically email the Director with an internship opportunity and the Director tries to pair them with a mentor based on topic or research method. For their capstone projects, the instructor of the capstone course typically recommends an advisor.
Earning credit for undergraduate research
Students earn credit for research through the Film & Media Studies Tutorial.
Getting paid for research
There are not currently any opportunities for paid research in the program.
Thesis or capstone research
Students may conduct research for their capstone sequence.
