<p>Sam Lee-Georgetown is very responsive to their students who desire to obtain a Ph.D. in economics. There is a more rigorous pure international economics major (I think the other poster alluded to this and you seemed to have missed that) and all Georgetown students who wish to pursue an Economics PhD are advised early on to take econometrics, and a second year of calculus. That is actually the beauty of the Georgetown program-you can strucutre it to whatever your career objectives are. Georgetown also recently added a program in international development with a research institute attached to it. Since your level of interest in the Georgetown program is so high you should contact the economics department. If you are still a student and want to transfer. I am sure they would accept your application.</p>
