Archive – Fall 2023

GBUS courses will be moving to a dual-numbering system starting this fall! Georgetown University’s courses are broadly moving to a four-numbered course system. GBUS courses going forward will have two 4000-level sections for SFS upperclassmen undergraduate students and two 5000-level sections for SFS graduate students. All four sections will still meet at the same time.

Starting in fall 2023, the GBUS course sections key will be as follows:

4000-level 01 – BSFS open section
4000-level 02 – GBF, IBD undergraduate students
5000-level 03 – GSFS open section
5000-level 04 – IBD graduate students 

Please note: the only IBD course that sophomores can take is GBUS 4400/5400.
