DWA 403 The United Nations Experience

This course will provide students with practical hands-on experience through an internship with a UN agency or a member state mission. This will be a professional undertaking, requiring intensive engagement with high-level responsibilities. The internship will be complemented throughout the semester, with the following three elements: (1) a bi-weekly seminar to fully process the learning and practical experiences of the internships; (2) a guest speaker series for dialogue with UN leaders; and (3) a bi-weekly analytic notebook that will provide an opportunity for students to critically analyze internship experiences, guest lectures, and assigned reading materials. Instructor permission required.

This course is part of the Oxy-at-the-UN Program.
