Brown vs. Georgetown SFS course offerings

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I know that alot of people are stuck between Brown and Georgetown SFS. 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/"&gt;http://boca.brown.edu/&lt;/a&gt;" (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>Well wouldn't the fact that Brown has a more broad Political Science major account for courses being geared towards a more general understanding of politics with the program trying to cover IR, Theory, Compartive Politics and Government all at the same time? Conversely, Georgetown's SFS has a specific focus, thus they'd have to offer courses like "Int'l Ethics: Scandanavia 1962" right?</p>
