<p>Hi, so I'm looking at Georgetown and I'm just a little confused as to the the degree you graduate with from their School of Foreign Service. On their website they refer to it as a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service and you can pick your major. So on your degree will it say Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service or Bachelor of Science <em>whatever your major</em>.</p>
<p>Of Foreign Service. Just like if you major in Biology you don’t get a Bachelor’s of Biology. Your major will be listed, as will your language proficiency.</p>
<p>(Though personally I still don’t understand why we get a BS and not a BA)</p>
<p>Well, when you say “on your degree” you have to specify… </p>
<p>Your actual diploma is written in Latin, so it will say “Scientiæ Baccalaureatum in Rebus Exteris” i.e. Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service. This is, ostensibly, it’s own degree type - nurses get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing on their diploma, but someone who majors in Bio just gets “Bachelor of Science.” Heavy on tradition, light on rhyme or reason.</p>
<p>Your transcript will list the degree as “Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service” as well as your major (International Politics, International Political Economy, etc.), any certificates, any language proficiencies, etc.</p>
