The
school will give you the opportunity to see far beyond the boundaries
of the state and explore and assess the economic, historical and
cultural relationships found there. You will discuss world issues
with political and business leaders. You will develop your own conclusions
and solutions to problems faced by third world nations. Through
your courses, projects, lectures and discussions, you will discover
the complexities of international independence.
The
Curriculum
The
goals of the curriculum are:
- To
develop problem solving skills related to global events
- To
develop an appreciation and understanding of other cultures
- To
enrich the critical thinking process with an international perspective
- To
provide intensive instruction and research experiences in the
political, economic and social systems of the world.
Formal
courses, supervised individual and group projects, and experimental
learning techniques will be part of the program. Seminars led by
prominent international, national, and local scholars, statesmen,
and business executives will allow you to gain extensive insight
into international relations. In-depth study of languages, customs,
lifestyles, and cultures of various nationalities will be an integral
part of the learning experience.
