Brown vs. Georgetown SFS course offerings

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I know that alot of people are stuck between Brown and Georgetown SFS or College. I have to say that in looking at the course offering for International Relations, Political Science, and History, it really seem like Georgetown (especially SFS) has a clear advantage. While I understand that Georgetown SFS is the best in the country, Brown’s course offering across the board is a bit dissapointing. I would love for any Brown current students to correct me on this one, but what I could find on "<a href="http://boca.brown.edu/">http://boca.brown.edu/</a>" (the brown course website) for 1-200 level classes (those for primarily undergraduates and some graduates) were really general survay classes compared to Georgetown. Please give opinions on what you think of these differences.</p>

<p>SFS- School of Foreign Service (Its aways nice to give definitions all to often on these board people give acronyms that are impossible to figure out)</p>

<p>You should know that Brown's IR department is a bit weird. It doesn't have many of its own classes because it draws on so many other departments. To get a better idea about IR course offerings I'd check out the required classes one has to take for an IR major at Brown, which will show you what kind of classes IR concentrators are taking.
