HC 153: International Flash Points
Honorable Warren Chrisopher, former Secretary of State
This course concentrates on the explosive confrontation points in current international affairs -- the flashpoints that threaten world peace or U.S. vital interests. This rigorous writing and debate course requires its 18 participants each to prepare and present one side of a debate, involve themselves actively in weekly discussion and Q&A sessions,
and research and write a substantial term paper expanding on the debate. The course provides students with a unique opportunity to delve into contemporary international issues in a small seminar moderated by the former Secretary of State.
To apply for HC153 you must be a College Honors student, preferably with junior or senior standing. Please prepare a resume and a one-page essay (print TWO copies of each – just clip them, do NOT staple), in which you briefly describe your formative background, your academic qualifications, and your specific interest in international relations. Do not forget to include your student ID number and email address. Drop off your documents on or before Monday, December 17th, 9:00am, at the UCLA Honors Programs Office in A311 Murphy Hall. Admitted students will be notified of the results through email after Monday, December 17th (specific date to be set soon). Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications, individual email notifications cannot be sent except to those admitted, but you may check your status with the Honors Collegium Coordinator at a date to be set soon. Please do not apply if you cannot actually enroll once you are admitted.
UPDATE (12/19/07): Sec. Christopher thanks everyone who turned in applications for his class. He was impressed at the excellent essays and impressive qualifications shown by all applicants, and has selected the students for his class, who have all confirmed their intent to enroll. Should you need further confirmation of your status, please contact Ms. Cathleen Cueto, the Honors Collegium Coordinator.
For all other questions about the Honors Collegium classes, you may email the Honors Collegium Coordinator directly.
