<p>The SFS is one of the absolute top schools in the world for international affairs and obviously there is no better place in the United States to be than D.C. for politics. But how does the actual government department itself at georgetown fare for undergraduate?</p>
<p>As you can tell by looking at the course lists, most of the courses you would take in the SFS are actually taught by professors affiliated with departments in Georgetown College. The courses themselves are frequently coded GOVT, ECON, HIST, THEO, SOCI, etc., and students in the College have the same access to them as SFS students do. So a Government major would be well-positioned to take many of those same courses and get a similarly outstanding education in Government/PoliSci as a counterpart in the SFS.</p>
<p>Awesome! Additionally do you know how easy/hard it is to transfer between the college and SFS incase I decided I absolutely wanted to major in international ____ ?</p>
<p>If you do decide to transfer, they will make you put some effort behind it, e.g. writing a formal explanation of why your areas of interest would require a change of schools. You also should have a pretty strong GPA, and it would be helpful to have taken courses that fulfill SFS requirements (some of which you would have taken as a prospective Government major anyway, like Intro to IR or Comparative Political Systems). It is definitely something that happens regularly, though, so you wouldn’t be doing anything unusual.</p>
