[quote=Anonymous]I would say for the Foreign Service - all branches - where you went to school is not that important. I am a Foreign Commercial Service officer. Most of us joined with significant other life experience, either in private sector, elsewhere in government or the military. Initially, I came to the Foreign Service after several years on the Hill and then working in international higher education and in democracy and governance programs abroad. The State Department may take FSOS right out of college, and there were a few in my last language class at FSI. For USAID or FCS you need experience and then maybe a master's degree. My boss has only a BA from a SUNY school, but had lots of business experience. I see quite a few people with degrees in business from the likes of Thunderbird or the University of South Carolina. I graduated from GWU and later got a master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh. I would seek out programs that have some practical focus, learn a hard language rather well and get some real works experience if you really want to succeed in IR.  [/quote]
