Georgetown University sits on a hilltop above the Potomac. Its flagship school, the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, trains America’s future diplomats, senior military officers, and intelligence operatives. Its graduates include Bill Clinton and a long list of senators, ambassadors, a CIA director, two White House chiefs of staff, the king of Spain, and various heads of state.

The school also grants degrees to foreign students. I enrolled in its master’s degree program after spending years as a Swedish military officer and diplomat. I was interested in making a career transition from my country’s armed forces, where I’d spent nearly a decade, to diplomatic service. I’d done two tours in Afghanistan, three in Africa and some diplomatic and commercial work in the Persian Gulf. I wanted to study at one of the world’s premier schools of diplomacy. What I found at Georgetown was far from what I had expected.
