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.
