Double Majoring at Georgetown

<p>I am really interested in majoring in both history and international relations. However, I noticed Georgetown has a school of arts and science and a school of foreign service. GT SAS does not offer a international studies major or minor but the SFSPaducah, KY has a history program and of course international affairs program.
Also i would like to take courses in Arabic and Mandarin </p>

<p>Thanks for the help</p>

<p>There are no double-majors within SFS. However, all of the SFS majors are really International Affairs majors, just with different areas of focus. The core curriculum is broad-based IR. So, I think the International History major in SFS would be a good fit for what you’re looking for.</p>

<p>I know that GTown students can minor across colleges within the university. Does this apply for SFS kids interested in minoring in a subject in the College?</p>

<p>SFS students cannot complete minors. However, they can choose from a range of certificates, which are like ‘minors on steroids.’</p>

<p>See [Certificate</a> Programs - Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) - Georgetown University](<a href=“http://bsfs.georgetown.edu/academics/certificates/]Certificate”>Certificates & Minors - SFS - School of Foreign Service - Georgetown University)</p>

<p>But you can double major between colleges…right? I was thinking Georgetown College and McDonough…</p>

<p>No, you cannot double major across the four different schools. In most cases, however, you can do something that is similar or the effective equivalent of a double major, especially in terms of courses taken (which is, after all, the most important thing, rather than the “double major” label).</p>

<p>What if one was interested in an internal transfer? As I understand it, students are allowed one internal transfer in their undergraduate career, but my question is how difficult it is to do that. Is there a GPA minimum for each school? Is it selective in terms of what students can transfer, or are they less discriminatory on the basis that the student was good enough for admission into the university, thus good enough for any of the four schools?</p>

<p>I realize this isn’t exactly very topical, but I suppose a transfer is the fallback plan to not being able to major or minor in what you want to.</p>
