Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business announced yesterday that it plans to offer its MBA Evening Program in Tysons Corner beginning this fall. Students will attend classes at Convene, a conference center network that will be opening this spring at 1800 Tysons Boulevard.

Tysons Corner was chosen for the program due to its proximity to the region’s strong business community, which includes many local, regional and national headquarters for major employers, with the arrival of Metro’s Silver Line later this year accelerating job and population growth in the region, according to a Georgetown press release.
