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. 3) a bi-weekly analytic notebook that will provide an opportunity for students to critically analyze internship experiences guest lectures and assigned reading materials.
