<p>I am currently in the College because I was not sure exactly which major I wanted to pursue when applying to Georgetown. However, now I have decided that I want to pursue an International Relations major and pursue something in the International business realm and later in some form of politics or diplomacy. I'm having trouble, however, figuring out if I should transfer to the SFS under a major like International Economics/International Political Economy or the MSB under International Business/Finance. I see the use of an International Business major that would give me a practical background in business and a step up in internship opportunities in the business sector; however, I want to also get a large global perspective of the world, and what a better place to do this than at the SFS. I realize that the SFS has much more prestige than the MSB, but I don't know if the SFS will give me as many opportunities post-college as the MSB. Do SFS graduates have good job opportunities as well? Does anybody have an opinion about this?</p>
<p>the leading hirers for people who graduate in SFS are in the business world so you should be able to get a business type of job from SFS...</p>
<p>that being said, try to transfer to SFS</p>
<p>Thanks for the input; I completely agree with you. Here's my problem. I sent my transfer papers into the admissions office last week to transfer to the MSB (I talked to someone who was anti-SFS or something, and they convinced me to transfer there). I am currently in the college under biochem. Do I call the admissions office and say to keep me in the college (even though I'm biochem, do I need to take certain classes? or can I just take the core classes w/ no science) or do I call them, tell them to halt the transfer papers, and send them new ones for the SFS. It seems like that I don't have to be in the SFS the first semester, and I'll be OK in the college. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I would say for you to stay in the college rather than go into MSB. It would not look good if you transfer into one division and then decide to transfer into another. You can always withdraw your transfer papers and then attempt to retransfer to SFS. If you dont get in, you can also try to transfer into SFS after freshman year. Just take some SFS classes during freshman year so you wont be burdened by the core and such.</p>
<p>Yeah, judging by your current record of trying to transfer twice before you have even gotten here, you should probably consider chilling in the College for a year and not making anymore hasty decisions?</p>
<p>Either way, don't do it by prestige...you might also want to be aware that (warning: gross generalization following) SFS kids and MSB kids are, on the whole, pretty different. My best recommendation as far as deciding is, looking at the core curricula for both schools, as well as the classes you'd need to take for each major, and see what appeals to you more. Don't forget, in either school you aren't completely locked down, especially if you have AP credits...so you can always take some classes in Finance if you are in the SFS or in international politics if you are in the MSB.</p>
<p>In the end, people will hire you not because you majored in X but the formative experiences you've developed along the way. Even if you do MSB, you can graduate with some i-pol background knowledge.</p>
