[quote=Anonymous]Which Master's program? I can only speak to HR based on my experience. I completed the SCS HR Management Master's program in 2014 but admittedly haven't been involved much as an alumni after the first couple years post-graduation, so things  have changed since then. However, the program was solid - good professors (with the exception of one), intellectually challenging coursework, good reputation even for a "School of Continuing Studies" because of the Georgetown name, strong connections and job opportunities in private industry and government, and most of my cohort and I have gone on to have successful careers. The program allowed me to convert from a Pathways student internship to a permanent fed position after graduation, and I'm currently a Supervisory HR GS-14. I was working, so took night classes part time but was still able to finish in 2 years by taking summer courses as well. My first semester we were on main campus, then moved to the current Chinatown location.

They also offered an international summer immersion class when I was there which was a great experience. However, tuition was far more reasonable then imo.

I would say that I strongly disliked my Capstone experience - I didn't find the professor or TAs to be competent, which doesn't help when you're already in a stressful position of having to produce a Master's Thesis in one semester. And some shady stuff went down with the former administrator of the HR program, but I don't have all the details. Overall, would recommend based on my experience with the caveat that things have likely changed in the past decade.[/quote]
