Master of Science in Foreign Service

MSFS has several notable advantages over similar programs. For me the least obvious, and perhaps most important, is the flexibility of the program. At Georgetown, one can gain the educational background necessary to continue in the public, private, or non-profit sector without having to make a limiting choice beforehand. The focus of one's studies ranges from international business to development and refugee issues. The various diverse experiences that my counterparts bring to the table are also an important part of the well rounded graduate education available here. Georgetown's excellent reputation and an incredible network of graduates in any field imaginable are also huge advantages when it comes time to find an internship or a job in any field. Finally, location is an obvious and important factor; in Washington one has access to any industry or undertaking, public or private. In short, if it's not available at MSFS, it probably isn't available in any graduate environment.
