It is the first campus of an American university to open in Indonesia. The campus is located in the Plaza Office Tower in Jakarta's central business district.

History

The campus was originally announced on November 13, 2023 by then President of Indonesia Joko Widodo during a visit to Washington, D.C. The campus was planned in collaboration with Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.

The campus opened in January 2025, with the launch of an executive master’s in diplomacy and international affairs (EMDIA) program. The campus also launched a policy lab program that aims to connect D.C.-based graduate students to issues impacting the global south. Yuhki Tajima, Founding Rector of Georgetown SFS Asia Pacific.
