A Georgetown University degree program designed for incarcerated students has begun at the Patuxent Institution in Jessup, Md., officials announced.
A second cohort of 25 students will be admitted later this year, and officials said they expect 125 students to enroll within the next five years in the 120-credit interdisciplinary program.The university’s admissions process for the program began last fall with the help of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, officials said.
The degree program offers cultural humanities, interdisciplinary social science and global intellectual history as its three majors, officials said. Students this semester are taking introductory classes in writing and philosophy. The program will take about five years for most students to complete, officials said, with two four-credit classes offered each semester.
