[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not good in the sense that it does not offer anything unique for those who really want a career in national security or diplomacy.  How many professors teaching undergraduates have worked at significant decisionmaking levels at State, DOD, or CIA?  How many students actually go to work in the USG vs. the blob of NGOs well-served by a gazillion people who major in International Relations and want to work in DC?  Why do you need to go to a school of foreign service if you do not intend to go into the foreign service or other USG instrument?  Georgetown's faculty and curriculum both inside and outside SFS are weak relative to schools with comparable selectivity.[/quote]

The parts of this comment about faculty are just wrong. Georgetown, like GW, has a ton of former government officials.

Curriculum options are more extensive than almost any other IR program out there.

Agree that I wouldn’t go to a school focused on international affairs if I didn’t want a career in international affairs. But if you do, it is hard to find a better place for it.[/quote]
