HC 153: International Flash Points
Honorable Warren Chrisopher, former United States 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, November 24th, 11am, at the UCLA Honors Programs Office in A311 Murphy Hall. Admitted students will be notified of the results through email by December 8th. 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 effective December 10th. Please do not apply if you cannot actually enroll once you are admitted.

For all other questions about the Honors Collegium classes, you may email the Honors Collegium Coordinator directly.
