About the author
The School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University was created in 1919 from the vision of Father Edmund A. Walsh, S.J., who wanted students to be prepared for diplomacy, commerce, finance, and other forms of international representation. From the beginning, the school connected global affairs with a strong ethic of public service.
Over time, SFS grew into one of Georgetown’s best-known schools, offering undergraduate and graduate programs in international affairs. Its academic approach brings together political science, economics, history, languages, and cultural study, while also drawing on faculty with experience in government, business, and nonprofit work.
The school’s identity is closely tied to both its Jesuit values and its Washington, D.C., setting. That combination has helped shape a reputation for educating students who want to understand the world practically as well as intellectually, whether they go on to work in diplomacy, policy, business, security, or international development.
