<p>So I'm really interested in Georgetown. I know that they have amazing political sciences and international relations programs. I've also heard a lot about students going pre-med &such there.</p>
<p>However, I was wondering if anybody had any insight to how the social sciences are at Georgetown. Especially psychology and anthropology, perhaps philosophy.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any responses!</p>
<p>psych and philosophy are great, no doubt about it. as a general rule, humanities are tops at gu, including philosophy--english and theology as well. social sciences--psych, econ, history, govt, pol-econ are all awesome. i'm not sure about anthro, but it's a really small department. actually i think it's the sociology/anthropology dept. i know they have some cool classes and i'm sure some great professors, but definitely 2 of the smaller programs here.</p>
<p>psych is good @ gtown. you can focus on many areas of psychology with various course offerings, whether its social psych, child psych, biological psych, etc. i was a psych minor and the courses were all interesting. psych is known (everywhere) for not being a difficult major, and it isn't, but the classes are definitely interesting and you'll still need to put in the work. there are a lot of opportunities to do lab work, and many courses (research methods being the big one) will ask you to conduct a study that you'll present and display your findings to on the psych department floor. the child psychology classes are definitely popular, esp. among nursing and other non-psych majors. there's also clinical neuropsychology, which allows you to study the clinical side of neuropsychological disorders, then spend time in a clinical setting with patients (autism, ADHD, etc.). and there's the affiliated cognitive science program if you're interested in that related area.</p>
