<p>I am not all that knowledgable on Georgetown, but I am somewhat interested. I have a question that probably has an obvious answer or is an opinion that will differ from one person to another, but I'll ask anyway. I was just wondering, in general, which would be better for International Business (or something of the sort, like International Economics or International Political Economy), MBS or SFS? And, which is more prestigious in general / harder to get into? Can you also just elaborate a little more on the pros and cons? Thanks for all your help.</p>
<p>I'll speak for MSB, since I'm in it. International Business (or IB) is actually a major in MSB (quite popular, but not as much as Finance). As far as prestigious goes, Georgetown is known for its Foreign Service School and SFS is slightly harder to get into... you are welcomed to check out the stats for last year yourself on Georgetown's undergraduate admissions office website (pretty detailed)... depends on what you want to do later as Georgetown is very pre-professional, especially MSB and SFS... it is generally accepted, however, that SFS kids are cut-throat and have a heavy course-load, whereas MSB kids are happier of the bunch and have easier classes... which is not true, because Finance is a killer...</p>
<p>Well, MSB offers international business. SFS doesn't. They are pretty much equally hard to get into. A 1-3% difference between schools doesn't mean much. If you want to get an MBA at Business Grad school, however, I would suggest SFS undergrad.</p>
<p>Well that depends, one would usually pursue a MBA after substantial work experience... there isn't really a difference if you go undergrad in SFS or MSB...</p>
