[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]both great schools for IR.[/b] will get a great education at both.

now cue the fighting about Georgetown's rats and mold vs Baltimore's crime and JHU being (gasp!) 50%+ Asian.

Not really.

SFS at Georgetown is like BME at JHU.  IR at JHU is like BME at Georgetown.
It's crazy to put these two for comparison.  [/quote]

No, Georgetown is top for IR (helped by being closer to DC) but JHU is also in or near the top ten. They are closer peers in IR than they will ever be for BME, which Georgetown doesn't even have a notable dept of.[/quote]

I don't know if you are serious or a troll.  Georgetown is mecca of IR.

Saying they are close peers just because JHU rank near the top ten by a magazine?

Then I guess MIT and UDub are peers.  [/quote]

Georgetown invented the IR program. It was the foreign service school. SFS has always been known as “the Harvard” for foreign service.

Georgetown University ranked first in the world for its international relations master’s and undergraduate programs, according to 2024 rankings released by Foreign Policy magazine.The university also scored highly for Ph.D. programs focused on a policy career, coming in second.

The rankings are based on a broad survey of 1,500 foreign policy professionals administered by William & Mary’s Global Research Institute, including three distinct groups – international relations faculty, policymakers and think tank staff.

It is recognized as one of the top schools for international affairs globally. It is frequently ranked #1 for international relations master’s programs and in the top three for undergraduate programs by policymakers and faculty and it’s crazy this forum is clueless or purposely being obtuse.

Georgetown University is a top producer of U.S. diplomats and politicians, with 28 alumni and faculty serving in the 119th Congress (2025–2027). Known for its strong international relations program, it has educated at least 92 U.S. ambassadors and consistently ranks among the highest in producing congressional members, staffers, and chiefs of staff.

It’s where future leaders around the word come for education—royalty, presidents, etc. [/quote]

I don’t disagree that Georgetown is better on this front but the gap between the two is more of a crack in the sidewalk than the Grand Canyon. Especially for undergrad, which really is not that important in this space.[/quote]

And let me just clarify, I’m talking about IR. The last two paragraphs of accolades you posted are mostly due to Georgetown law.[/quote]
