Course/Credit Requirements at Georgetown

Hi everyone! I’m a prospective transfer applying to Georgetown SFS for Fall 2016 and I realized that SFS has a 40 course graduation requirement, which compared to other institutions, seems very high. This would mean that a typical schedule would include approximately 5 courses per semester, in comparison to an average of 4 at most other institutions. I want to ask current Georgetown students whether or not a constant 5 course semester schedule seems manageable, all factors considered such as extracurricular involvement, work/internships, etc. Thanks in advance!
