Manager, Registration and Degree Audit - Georgetown University Law Center

Tradition. Innovation. A superb faculty, hundreds of course offerings — and all of this just steps away from the Capitol and Supreme Court. Georgetown Law is an exceptional institution in an enviable location. Students come here from all over the world to study international or tax law, environmental or health care law (just a few of our specialties). They come here for our top-ranked clinics. Most of all, they come because this is the place where theory and practice meet. At Georgetown, students learn the law in the place where laws are made.

The Manager of Registration and Degree Audit has three distinct areas of responsibility: provides oversight for all aspects of new student registration, manages the specialized registration for JD Externship Seminars, and analyzes degree audits of academic records for approximately 2500 students annually.
