<p>Or are you restricted to the school you applied to?</p>
<p>Yes, mostly. There are some classes in SFS and McDonough that are reserved specifically for their own students, more so in the upper-level specialized classes, but I’d say most of time you can take what ever you want.</p>
<p>If I get into SFS, will I be taking my general courses in Georgetown College? As in, is SFS only a subset of the classes I’ll be taking, or will everything I take be in SFS?</p>
<p>Also, how difficult is it to change majors across schools? Say if I transferred from an SFS major to Politics in the College.</p>
<p>There’s no such things as “Politics in the College,” but I’m assuming you mean Government. Changing majors across schools means changing schools, which isn’t generally that difficult as long as you do it early on and you have reasonably good grades.</p>
<p>If you’re in SFS, most of the classes you take are in the college, not that really means anything. There are a very small subset of classes that are SFS only (most notably the freshman proseminar) a somewhat larger subset of MSB only classes and only a tiny number of College-only classes (NHS is it’s own little world). In general, you’ll find that you are more restricted by what satisfies requirements you need to fill than what you are technically permitted to take or not to take.</p>
<p>If you’re really interested in this issue, go to [2009-2010</a> Course Catalog | Georgetown University](<a href=“http://courses.georgetown.edu/]2009-2010”>http://courses.georgetown.edu/) and poke around. Classes “offered” by the SFS are those found under “International Affairs” and the names of the various SFS majors (e.g., “Culture and Politics” or “International Politics”), MSB classes are the ones that correspond to MSB areas (e.g., “Accounting”). I think, but don’t quote me on this, that courses only available to students in a certain school say so. </p>
<p>But, really, once again, your “school” doesn’t have that large an impact on what you study. I’m a junior in the SFS and of the 20 courses I took in my first two years, only 5 were SFS-only (and one of those, PST, was technically in the college). Someone in the college could have taken an almost identical set of classes. Even for the SFS majors, many or most of the courses you take will be outside the SFS.</p>
