International Relations
Offered at all campuses.
This course will introduce you to the major issues and actors in
international relations. You will analyze the origins and evolution of
the international system, the legacy of the Cold War, and the role of
the state, the nation, international organizations, ethnic groups, and
other non-state actors. This course goes beyond war and peace and
addresses ways of dealing with terrorism, crime, the global economy and
environment, and human rights. Students will engage in debates and
presentations on global issues and represent other countries in Model
U.N. or comparable simulations. Together, these lectures and
simulations give you background and hands-on experience to make
informed judgments about our global society.
This college-level course is equivalent to a one-semester honors social
studies course.
