BGA Course Lists

Below are lists of courses currently recognized as satisfying five Dikran Izmirlian Program in Business and Global Affairs degree requirements. The lists serve as guides for planning purposes and do not represent guarantees that specific listed courses will be offered in specific academic years. In addition, students may petition the BGA Curriculum Committee to consider a non-listed course to be recognized as fulfilling a BGA requirement.

 I’ve applied what I learned in BGA to all the internships I’ve done at Georgetown. For one, in my current internship at USAID, I work on global workers rights. I’ve written case studies and conducted research on workers rights issues, skills I learned from Global Organizations and Culture class we took sophomore spring and from the Washington, Business, and the World classes we take each Fall.
