CRN: 3769
Credits: 4
United Nations Summer Study practicums are group-based consulting projects with an inter-governmental or non-governmental organization--they are not internships. Student teams, with faculty oversight, work with their partner organization to define a need and develop a product, which may be data collection and analysis, a website or social media, policy recommendations, etc. In the process, students gain invaluable hands-on professional experience in the operations of international organizations, their professional culture, and collaborative work in a group with strict deadlines. Each team will give a formal presentation of their final project to the client as well as UNSS. Practicum faculty supervisors will set meeting times and time commitment — given the narrow time frame of UNSS, it is expected that students participating in the practicum will at minimum devote approximately fifteen hours of work per week to this component.
