<p>Hey guys, I am a potential student for Georgetown MSB transferring from NYU. Any insightful comments on MSB will be helpful (recruitment, classmates, professors, complaints, social life etc). I attended Georgetown over the summer, but I am just wondering how it's like on a normal semester.</p>
<p>Georgetown's buisness program, although rising in the rankings(it might be around 19 now..), is nowhere near as good as Stern (isn't it in the top 5, or close?). Why are you transfering? The MSB students have reputation for being slackers and big partiers, and not too intelligent either (all of the athletes that aren't sociology majors are buisness majors). However, the really motivated students seem to be challenged, and graduate with really good jobs. I guess it depends on what you want out of your business education. If you're looking for International Business, then Georgetown is probably the place to go....if not, then you'd probably be better off staying at NYU.</p>
<p>any more opinions? (btw, i am transfsrring from NYU CAS)</p>
<p>I would say that if you really want to do business..you should transfer into NYU Stern? Unless like jangel said you want to do international business. I applied to both places. But I'm not pursuing a business degree from MSB. Instead I'm doing an International Economics major at SFS with a concentration in International Finance and Commerce. Since GU has an incredible International program, I decided to take advantange of that and do business at the same time. =]</p>
<p>I wouldn't be as negative about the MSB as they would. I suppose you could say that some people in the business school do not take it seriously, and thats probably true, but for those who do it offers incredible opportunities. MSB is currently ranked #13, and if you are wondering, the reason it may seem low is because of facilities. For example, Business Weeks ranks the MSB A in Teaching Quality and A in Job Placement, but only a C in facilities. However, they are currently in the process of building an entirely new MSB building that should be done for Fall 2009 I believe. So the ranking is a bit deflated because of the lack of an actual school. The job placement on wall street is incredible if that is your thing, and for many it is. Absolutely nothing against Stern, if you want that then great for you, but I love the MSB for its balance and opportunities. Just my 2 cents</p>
<p>yeah. i personally attended georgetown over the summer of my high school year and i loved it there (although i ended up EDing NYU). quick questions:</p>
<p>1) What is the most famous major at Gtown?>
2) Do recruiters come often to campus? (or more specifically, are there many good opportunities for prestigious internships?
3) Can you minor in a diff business discipline?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>1) The most famous degree would be their bachelor of science in foreign service. There are a total of 7 major options at the School of Foreign Service. There isn't really a discrepency as to which of those 7 is the best that I know of.</p>
<p>2) Yes, there are a bunch of prestigious internships...it's in DC so that makes it open to a lot of recuiters. However, it depends on what TYPE of internships you mean by "presitigious". I have heard of a multitude of different opportunities that students have taken in the past.</p>
<p>3) The only time you can take business as a minor is when your in FLL (at the College). But I'm not sure if you mean minoring in a business discipline while you're already majoring in business? Georgetown doesn't offer majors in the business school, they're called programs or concentrations. Thus, I would assume mutiple concentrations are definitely feasible.</p>
<p>Answering your question if you were an MSB Student:</p>
<p>1) The best majors here are Finance, Accounting and International Business. Many Students double in either Finance and Accounting or Finance and International Business</p>
<p>2) Yes, especially if you are looking into Wall Street. All the top I-Banking firms come and recruit, GTown is able to attract alot of attention, and there are always opportunities for good internships</p>
<p>3) If you are in the MSB, you cannot minor in a business discipline, although Double Majors aren't only possible they are common. You can, however, minor in any field from the College.</p>
<p>thanks, sorry that i did not clarify that i was looking at MSB. i will be a MSB if i get in so. how are the rigor of the course work like? and I don't get what you mean by concentration instead of a major, jennqtf4.</p>
<p>For all intents and purposes it is a major, I think people just tend to call it a concentration. It really makes no difference. The classes so far have not been extremely difficult, that said they are basically intro classes into business (I've had/taking ACCT 101, 102 and International Business). If you do come, I suggest starting with Econ right away to get rid of the core, its very helpful.</p>
<p>Stern's known for it's MBA program as opposed to it's undergrad program. For jobs into most businesses out of college, recruiters don't tend to really care what you majored in, rahter they care that you did well. At least, that's what my father has explained to me, now an executive recruiter and a gtown grad from SFS.</p>
