The doctoral Philosophy Component emphasizes both history and theory in its approach to contemporary issues: and has regularly scheduled courses on the major figures and periods in the history of philosophy, and the special fields of logic, metaphysics, and epistemology so that students can understand the broader foundations of various philosophical positions, no matter what their specialization may be. The program is also distinctive in its pluralism, which reflects the Department's belief that philosophy is nourished by friendly interchange between different viewpoints, traditions, approaches, and styles, and in its interdisciplinary orientation, which is reflected in the diverse affiliations of its Faculty and its special programs of study. The Department aims to form students who can readily understand intelligent viewpoints that differ from their own and that have the technical skills - logical, linguistic, exegetical, and phenomenological - to do so.

Chapter Six MINISTRY/ PASTORAL FORMATION PROGRAM.

MINISTRY/ PASTORAL FORMATION

This University requires that all undergraduate students participate in a program of ministry formation.

Hence, Christian service is required by all students enrolled in specific schools. This Christian service is

a part of 3 credits Pastoral theology & ministry formation program. The Institution requires

mandatory chapel attendance, and students are expected to preach a sermon in this chapel time during

the academic year. These sermons are evaluated by institutional faculty for quality of content and

delivery. Similarly, students have a pastoral mentor assigned to them that will work with the student as

he/she develops in ministry. Every student must be attached to a ministry outside the university to

enable students serve three weeks to three months in a Christian setting each school year.

CAMPUS MINISTRY AND OUTREACH

The University of America , in accordance with its Mission, is dedicated to providing our students various opportunities for Prayer, Mass, Confession, Adoration, Spiritual Retreats, and Christian Service to help their grow in relationship with God. Drawing on the Scriptures, campus ministry bears witness to God’s amazing grace within the context of higher education. Sensitive to the pastoral needs of those on campus and engaged in the intellectual discourse of the university, campus ministry strives to communicate the gospel in fresh ways. Prayers are held before all theology classes and occasional chapel services led by ordained ministers are held in the large assembly room at various times to commemorate religious holidays, important community events, or at student or faculty request. There are also many local Churches the provide worship and others services in the community surrounding The University of America . Students are encouraged to inquire with the Dean of Student Affairs for more information. Outreach and Engagement is defined as meaningful and mutually beneficial collaborations with partners in education, business, and public and social service. It is: • That aspect of research that makes what we discover useful beyond the academic community. • That aspect of teaching that enables learning beyond the campus walls. • That aspect of service that directly benefits the public. UAUSA demonstrates a commitment to social outreach in the following ways: • Teaching undergraduate or graduate courses that include a service-learning, internship, practicum or clinical component that benefits community members • Providing distance learning credit or continuing education courses that enable nontraditional students to enroll • Teaching extension, continuing education, professional development, or other nontraditional educational programs, workshops, or classes that reach people in their communities Many of our faculty members have valuable relationship with community organizations and students looking for ways to get more involved with their community are encouraged to talk to their professors.

MBA or MSc in Strategic Management and Leadership The UA MBA or MSc Professional qualifications in Strategic Management and Leadership are designed to provide focused and specialist vocational short courses, linked to professional body requirements and National Occupational Standards where

appropriate, with a clear work-related emphasis. The qualifications provide short vocational programmes of study that meet the individual needs of learners. There is a strong emphasis on practical skills development alongside the development of requisite knowledge and understanding in the sector. They are particularly suitable for more mature learners who wish to follow a short programme of study that is directly related to their work experience or to an aspect of employment that they wish to move into in due course. On successful completion

of these qualifications, national recognition by employers enables learners to progress into or within employment and/or continue their study in the vocational area. Learners are able to progress across the range of qualifications levels , from certificate Award to Diploma , BBA , MBA or MSc qualifications. These BTEC qualifications also support Continuing Professional Development (CPD), as well as enabling sideways

70

progression to Masters degrees, such as an MBA, or a Level 7 NVQ in Management. The UA MBA or MSc Professional qualifications are designed to meet a range of different needs. The qualifications offer:

maximum flexibility with a range of different-sized Level 7 programmes

the opportunity to certificate smaller blocks of learning designed to motivate

learners and encourage widening participation in education and training

courses that relate to the particular training and employment patterns in a

sector

courses that may offer preparation for specific jobs when in employment

the opportunity to use a range of delivery methods

opportunities for learners to develop skills that support career and professional

development

underpinning knowledge, skills and understanding linked, where appropriate, to

named NVQs

programmes that can enable progression either to higher levels of study or to

other courses at the same level of study. Straightforward to implement, teach and assess

Implementing The UA MBA or MSc qualifications couldn’t be easier. They are designed to easily fit into your curriculum and can be studied independently or alongside existing qualifications, to suit the interests and aspirations of learners. The clarity of assessment makes grading learner attainment simpler. Engaging for everyone

Learners of all abilities flourish when they can apply their own knowledge, skills and

enthusiasm to a subject. The UA MBA or MSc qualifications make explicit the link between theoretical learning and the world of work by giving learners the opportunity to apply their research, skills and knowledge to work-related contexts and case studies. These applied and practical UA MSc approaches give all learners the impetus they need to achieve and the skills they require for workplace or education progression. Recognition

The UA are understood and recognized by a large number of organizations in a wide range of sectors. The UA MBA or MSc qualifications are developed with key industry representatives and Sector Skills Councils (SSC) to ensure that they meet employer and student needs — in this case the Council for Administration (CfA). Many

industry and professional bodies offer successful UA students exemptions for

their own accredited qualifications. Contents

Required Courses

IRD-R-580 : Factors and Theories of Analysis in International Relations and Diplomacy

In an international political environment that is swarming with a plethora of events that we read in the day-to-day news or hear/see in

the media, how can we make sense of it all in a systematic and informed manner, in a way that is theoretical, and in a manner that goes

beyond the "political talk" by a "rookie?" How can we find trends, patterns and generalizations for events occurring today, with those

Page 109: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

109

that occurred in the past and those that we are likely to see in the future?

This course emphasizes the role of "theory" in the study of issues of international relations. Exploring a range of theoretical

underpinnings to deepen our understanding of international relations, it helps us to achieve a greater understanding of the world and

the diversity of its cultures with the use of theory. Knowledge of theories of international politics prepares students for understanding the

world in a systematic manner, a world made smaller by the steady increase of international contact in society, politics, and business

and allows students to acquire knowledge and tools that enable them to analyze and understand the complex world in which we live.

IRD-R-581 : Research Methodology and Design

This is an introductory course in research methods and design for students of political science, international relations and diplomacy.

Students do not need any previous knowledge of social science methodology, but they should already have some substantive political

knowledge, and an interest in conducting original research. The aim of this course is to teach students how to gather quantitative and

qualitative evidence through the use of established social science research methods and how to analyze that data logically.

Starting with a brief introduction to the elementary principles of the scientific method, students learn how to generate original

"quantitative" data through doing an actual scientific public opinion poll with a probabilistic simple random sample. Then students are

trained in some widely used "qualitative" data-gathering techniques, including research using published and archival documentation, as

well as field research techniques of observation and interview. This phase includes a mandatory field trip to the Bibliothèque Nationale

de France. Once the data-gathering phase is complete, students learn the basic tools of data analysis: i.e. establishing relationships,

testing hypotheses, and developing valid theoretical explanations.

IRD-R-682 : Foreign Policy Formulation and Diplomacy

To understand Foreign Policy Formulation this Practitioner's seminar takes you inside the "black box" of statecraft in order to study the

goals, beliefs, and perceptions of decision-makers.

Contemporary diplomacy as a norm-based activity and mindset provides an array of tools for preventive, persuasive and coercive crisis

management for enduring stability and globalized security. These operational procedures of thinking and acting diplomatically including

pre-crisis diplomatic communication enable us to deal with global and regional disruptive shock events.

In the practice of International Relations there is an interdependancy between diplomacy as the procedural tool-box for the application

and execution of policy decisions and International Law as the behavioral guidelines for international policy-making. International Law

serves as the language for diplomacy to justify policy decisions.

Course objectives:

To develop an understanding of the techniques and tactics of diplomacy and international law

To become familiar with the role of foreign ministries and embassies

To identify the present trends of modern diplomacy, with emphasis on the role of the United Nations

To equip students for careers in international affairs

Page 110: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

110

IRD-R-583 : International Public Law

The knowledge of basic legal concepts is essential for anyone working in or studying the field of international relations and diplomacy.

Students learn about the creation of International Public Law through treaties, customs and general principles. A particular emphasis is

placed on the formation of these sources, showing how treaties are negotiated and illustrating some of the problems that written

agreements can present, as well as the questions of equity and the impact and significance of unilateral acts on IPL.

States are studied on many levels, including defining the term "state", identifying its attributes and determining how its responsibility can

be engaged. Other actors are also considered, such as international organizations and individuals as subjects and not only objects of

IPL. Finally, methods of resolving international conflict is analyzed from simple informal negotiation to the use of the international court

system. The possibility, legality and desirability of non-peaceful methods is also discussed.

IRD-R-684 : Current Economic Problems and Policies

The aim of this course is to equip future policy-makers with the basic analytical tools of macroeconomics, and prepare them to assess

some of the economic issues they will encounter in this area. Hence, building on the knowledge already acquired by the students, this

course focuses on open-economy macroeconomics, with special emphasis on the recent business cycle, current global imbalances,

and the exchange rate of the dollar.

Elective Courses

IRD-E-601 : Theory and Origins of Global Conflict

The course will explore the role of violence and conflict, both threatened and explicit, in international politics. Notions of the balance of

power and war and peace are discussed in both historical and conceptual frameworks, in order to provide greater insight into the nature

of international conflicts.

IRD-E-602 : Strategy and Conflict Resolution

How do theorists and decision-makers - or even entire societies - conceive policies for war and peace? How do they plot their course of

action? What means are at their disposal and what means can they and will they actually use? What historic, geographic, economic

and military situations condition strategic theory and action? Students should not expect to be taught the best way to wage war or the

most efficient way of bringing peace to the world or to a region. A main goal of this course is to discover the scientific relevance of

analyzing how human societies wage war or make peace. Why is the social scientist's view on the art of the warrior rewarding and

necessary? There is no guarantee that students will find answers, as raising such questions will often generate even more questions.

However, formulating such questions is the foundation of scientific research at the graduate level. By learning to formulate the relevant

questions, students will begin to find clues about the nature, origins and history of war, and consequently discover clues as to how to

prevent them.

IRD-E-501: Geopolitics

The aim of this course is to introduce students to geopolitical studies.

Page 111: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

111

Today, even casual followers of International Affairs invariably encounter “geopolitical” explanations. This fact is even more prevalent

as it relates to a young woman or man who decides to scientifically devote herself/himself to International Relations scholarship.

Contemporary geopolitical scholars have retained the central feature and purpose found in the original works of geopolitics (so-called

“classical geopolitics”): to study all of the objective constraints that limit, influence, and/or steer the decisions of political actors within

the different levels of the international context.

During the classical period of geopolitics, from the end of the 19th century to WWII, the major constraint was geography, which is more

than understandable given that the majority of natural obstacles were still impassable. Today, the dynamics of world politics are clearly

very different, if for no other reason than the vast technological advances of the past century. As the world has become more complex

and closely linked many new constraints have emerged; therefore, the analysis of International Relations as a whole requires studying

all these constraints and relating them to one another.

Presently, the world is witnessing a period of shifting geopolitical power. Scholars have established a wide-ranging theoretical

framework in which it is possible to insert all the different elements that influence the ongoing transformation of the international system:

energy, industry, finance, agriculture, demography, military, national and regional politics, supranational politics (international

institutions, regional alliances or communities, NGOs, etc.), religion, history and, of course, geography, etc.

IRD-E-502: Geopolitics of Religion

The aim of this course is to examine and analyze the increasing geopolitical role of the great religions of the world in international

relations today. Students will be introduced to the history of these religions, their respective weight and influence in different regions of

the world, and their possible effects in a period that is characterized by crucial geopolitical and geo-economic transformations.

The course will place a particular focus on the following points: the religious come-back of the 1970s, which is essentially linked to the

profound changes in the global balance of power; the political exploitation of the religious feelings in two historical turning points of

international relations: the Iranian revolution and the war in Afghanistan; the ideology of the “West” and that of the “clash of

civilizations”; the myth of violence; and the global political project of a “holy alliance” of religions.

IRD-E-504 : Global Communications, Media and International Affairs

The course will explore, compare and confront characteristics of the post 9/11 global media scene and its impact on diplomacy and

world affairs : news-gathering methods, professional principles and constraints, Media performances under pressure of time, context,

profit-making-structures, politics, ethics and ideologies. Lectures, critical screenings and assignments will examine and propose

analytical tools for the comprehension and follow-up of the interaction between global media, collective perceptions and modern

diplomacy.

IRD-E-507 : Principles of Economics

This course is designed to familiarize students with the basic tools to understand, explain, question, and analyze critically economic

events. It covers both macroeconomic and microeconomic topics. The main objective will be to relate economics to other social

Page 112: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

112

sciences such as politics, sociology or psychology by an overview of the principles of modern economics. Ideas such as globalization

have significant economic foundations with important social consequences. Discovering and uncovering these foundations is made

easier for graduates with many of the economic concepts and theories that are taught in the course. Economics is often taught at the

undergraduate level with a historical, institutional approach whilst at the graduate level more widespread use of mathematical methods

is made. Although this is an introductory course it should help students acquire the basic tools needed to understand simple graphical

and mathematical representations of economic theories and concepts.

IRD-E-509 : Anthropology and Politics

This course analyzes the influence of culture and religion upon Western political institutions. It focuses on various concepts of state,

justice and political violence, within the framework of political organizations, polytheism-monotheism-atheism. The course includes

Rome, medieval Europe, the United States, Revolutionary France, Nazi Germany, Communist Russia and China, etc.

IRD-E-610 : Post-Modernity in International Relations and Diplomacy

This course is designed to familiarize students with periodization in political history, and particularly with the ideas and concepts related

to the notion of post-modernity. The bulk of the course is an interdisciplinary exploration of economic, human, cultural and political

dimensions of post-modernity. This interdisciplinary approach is necessitated by the simple fact that post-modernity is a multi-faceted

phenomenon that defies a neat, clear-cut definition. The course addresses various socio-political and economic developments in the

world since the fall of communism and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. A particular focus is placed on the concept of post-

modernism developed by authors such as Kojev, Fukuyama, Baudrillard, Lyotard and the theory's relation to knowledge, politics and

communication.

IRD-E-611 : Comparative Politics

This course gives an introduction to the structural model of the political system and the scientific approach to comparative politics. It

examines several of the world's major political traditions including East Asia, South Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe with

an emphasis on the paradox of the simultaneous existence of a culturally convergent Westernisation process with culturally invariant

non-Western systems.

IRD-E-514: International Environmental Politics

This course is designed to introduce the student to the controversies and politics of international environmental law and politics, to

explore global environmental issues that the planet faces, critically assess the nature of problems encountered and discuss workable

solutions for sustainable development in order to avoid a "tragedy of the commons." This interdisciplinary graduate course sets out to

enable students to critically analyze the international arena of environmental law, policy, politics, and problematics with special

reference to international environmental agenda-setting and decision-making, coalition-building and mobilization amongst states (and

non-state entities) to achieve cooperation. It highlights the intertwined nature of environmental issues with social, political, ethical and

economic issues as also the inter-linkages of the ecosystem which make state boundaries superficial. Several environmental issues will

be discussed including climate change, ozone depletion, trans-boundary export of hazardous wastes etc. This course is conducted in a

Page 113: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

113

seminar format, relying heavily on student participation.

IRD-E-616 : Extreme Crisis Situations: Terrorism, Government and Media

This course offers a survey of structural approaches and test-cases, examining attitudes and interactive processes between

governments and mass-media in moments of extreme tension, shock and major crisis: terrorist attacks, wars and warlike situations,

periods of extreme international or internal tension, top-level political assassinations, large scale civil resurrections and – to some

extent – major natural or industrial catastrophes.

The course offers some perimeters of definitions for “extreme-crisis” situations and the specificity of governmental and media conduct,

initiative, reactions and interactions in such instants, and compares these with some theoretical and behavioral schemes which may be

valid in ‘conventional’ or ‘routine-type’ reflexes of both political systems and media organizations.

It the implications of these on the evaluating practice and conduct of modern diplomacy: What may the potential impacts of these

accelerated “tension dynamics” be on the international scene and what influence may they have on foreign policy making. Within the

sample study of crisis-situations, series of test-cases is analyzed and compared, such as: Crucial moments in the context of “the Arab

Spring”, “Occupy Wall Street” movement, September 11th 2001, terrorist attacks in Paris, in London, in Madrid, in Bali, in Jerusalem, in

Egypt, in Mumbai, the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, the 1989 Tiananmen ‘events’, the Rumanian revolution of 1989, the 1993 ‘putsch’ in

Moscow, earthquakes in Italy and in Haiti, catastrophic floods in Pakistan and others.

The course seeks to follow and decode the types of interactivity, interdependence and manipulation which may characterize the

‘performance’ of governments, traditional mass-media outlets and ‘New Media’ in such situations. It alters study of political statements

to match with media ‘coverage’: written-press clips, radio transcripts, TV excerpts (video screenings), examples of reactivity, originality,

manipulative gestures and confusion created by mainstream news-organizations. It examines the accumulated impact of those extreme

instances on the overall balance-of-power between political & media institutions in different democratic, non-democratic, semi-

democratic and transitional state systems. Finally, the course analyses the international implications and the potential of “Social

Networks” and ‘New Media”.

IRD-E-617: Gender, Militarization and War

This course examines the process of war and militarization and how these are sustained and perpetuated by gendered notions of

masculinity and femininity. Such notions further lend to the control of diverse women in different challenging roles (i.e. women as direct

casualties, women as war refugees, women who suffer wartime sexual and domestic violence, women losing family during wartime,

women who lose work, community and social structure, in ways that sustain militarization., women as soldiers, women as depending on

the natural environment destroyed by wars, women as pacifists and opposers of war, women working for the defense industry, women

as prostitutes in military bases…).Going beyond stereotype, and based on actual examples, the second part of the course the changing

nature of contemporary armed conflict and the political implications of gender relations will also be examined, as will the intersection

beween race, class, sex.

Course Objectives

114

• To understand and analyze, theoretically and practically, the gendered nature of war and militarization

• To highlight the question that feminist IR scholars ask, “where are the women?” and how does war impact them and vice-versa.

• To foster a sensitization of the issues involved in doing research in the area of war and gender

IRD-E-618 : NGOs: An International Perspective

Note: IRD-E-618 and IRD-E-619 together form a two-course module yielding a Certificate in NGO Management (more

information here)

Non-governmental organizations have become key players on the international scene – active in development, advocacy, lobbying and

grassroots action. A study of international relations cannot ignore their growing role and contribution in mobilizing new energies and

adopting innovative approaches. Growing out of an understanding of democratic action that is rooted in citizens’ concerns, NGOs aim

to express the values, ideas and commitments of civil society.

This course provides an in-depth exploration of NGOs, their nature and their role in international relations. It introduces the range of

NGO organizations, defining their place in the institutional landscape of the global community. It critically examines the roots of their

creation and action, as well as their modes of action. NGOs are placed in the context of models of international development,

emphasising their particular approaches as well as their relations with government, with the communities in which they work and with

each other. Analysis of comparative advantages, competitive relations and collaboration provide a basis for debate on the added value

of NGOs in today’s world.

Through presentations, individual and group assignments, discussions, invited speakers and panels, the course gives opportunity for

setting the student’s own experience and goals in the context of current trends and examples.

IRD-E-619 : NGOs: Principles and Management

Note: IRD-E-618 and IRD-E-619 together form a two-course module yielding a Certificate in NGO Management (more

information here)

This course addresses the principles and practices of developing and managing an NGO. From the first idea of creating an NGO to

meet a need of some kind, the course provide students with the framework to grapple with creating NGO structures and governance,

managing personnel and programmes, attracting and accounting for financing, as well as examining the crucial aspect of

communication with varied constituencies. Through a range of examples provided by NGO leaders and activists, students gain insights

into the dimensions and challenges of running an NGO, asking questions about viability and sustainability. Complementing individual

assignments during the semester, students have the opportunity to work in groups to develop a practical proposal for creating an NGO,

addressing the dimensions necessary to ensure sustained and relevant impact.

IRD-699 : Internship

Students are encouraged to take part in internships during their studies. The internship is designed to provide students with real-life

Page 115: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

115

experience in the world of international affairs in order to complement theoretical approaches pursued in the classroom. An advisor is

assigned to the student to coordinate between UA, the student and the organization where the internship takes place. To earn three

credits, the internship should be at least 15 hours per week for the duration of one UA semester, or 220 total hours. All students must

complete a research paper based on the internship, and an oral presentation of the project must be made after the end of the

internship. A student may apply up to two internships towards graduation, with each earning three credits. No more than one internship

is allowed per semester. An internship that earns full credit is counted as an elective. See more information here.

Elective Area Courses

IRD-EA-613 : Issues in U.S. Foreign Policy

This course offers students the opportunity to examine the concepts and theories used by scholars to make sense of past events,

interpret and analyze contemporary issues and predict future developments in American foreign policy. The purpose of this course is to

provide students with the tools to understand both the how and the why of U.S. foreign policy decision-making, which is a complex

process and has tangible and intangible consequences on the lives of Americans and people all over the world.

The course covers: the principles and concepts of US foreign policy; sources of American foreign policy; the process, politics and

structure of US foreign policy making; past and present foreign policies and possible directions for the future; and competing

interpretations of American foreign policy. Among other related topics, this course discusses the history, context, politics, structures

(Presidency, Congress, Legislative, Executive, Judiciary, Military, Intelligence, Media, Public Opinion, Society) and processes that lead

to the formulation and implementation of United States foreign policy.

IRD-EA-630: A History of the Modern Middle-East

International politics of the Middle East is a topic that has become a concern for us all. Not a day goes by without a major event in the

Middle East, with repercussions on the rest of the world.

The Middle East is an area that has from Ancient times to our days come under the scrutiny of academics. On the one hand, having

experienced similar historical events, the region shares many common features and in that way distinguishes itself from other

developing parts of the world. On the other hand, each corner, offering ‘a story of its own’, underlines the diversity of the area and

presents us with a variety of case studies.

Given the complexity of the Middle East, its study proves to be a major challenge. To facilitate our task we have opted for a thematic

approach. The following themes and questions will therefore be addressed in this course of this class. What do we mean by the Middle

East? How does the West perceive the Middle East? How valid is the modernist theory approach? What is the nature of the state in the

Modern Middle East? The importance of non-State actors: the armed forces, religion, ethnic groups, women. Democracy: how viable is

it as a model? Globalization and its effects on the region.

The class will cover the history of the region but also discuss the present day events.

Learning objectives:

116

Explain the underlying causes for continuity and change in the region.

Understand the nature of the State in the Middle East.

Analyze the sources of legitimacy of the various actors in Middle East politics

Look at the effects of colonization, nationalism, the cold war, globalization on the shaping of the Middle East.

Relate the past to the present in order to critically evaluate the politics of the Middle East today

IRD-EA-631: Conflict in the Modern Middle-East

The conflict between the State of Israel and the Arabs has been at the centre of world news for many years. This class aims to entangle

the specificities of the region with a particular emphasis on Israel and Palestine; it studies its people and looks at the various factors

that have shaped its regional conflict. It aims to dig into the past and look at how history has been interpreted and reinterpreted over the

years and thus hopes to offer a better understanding of the present. Both the wars and the peace talks are analyzed through the prism

of the actors as well as the international community. IT furthermore opens the discussion into the perspectives for the region in the

future. It concentrates on the people and the way the two communities have evolved over the years. It raises the question of identities:

to what extent are they shaped by religion? To what extent have they been shaped by the perceptions that one group has of the other

and each group has of itself? To what extent have they been formed through the more recent conflicts in the Middle East as a whole?

Whilst concentrating on the people who populate the region, we also carry out a study of the political institutions as well as the main

movements in the various countries that have formed the backdrop for the way the region has developed politically and socially. Our

aim, as much as possible, is to read and discuss the different viewpoints on the subject to get a better understanding of the situation.

Learning objectives:

Explain the underlying causes for the conflict between the Jews and the Arabs in the Middle East

Observe how each community has evolved over the years

Understand the issues that are at stake in the region

Consider different proposals as a means to resolve the conflict

Analyze the role of the external actors

Open up a discussion over the possibilities that lie ahead

IRD-EA-640 : Contemporary Sub-Saharan Africa

This is an introductory course to contemporary African politics. Students need only a rudimentary background in political science, and

no background in African studies. It is recommended that students have some idea of the current economic realities facing African

countries, and become familiar with post- colonial ideologies, including dependency and underdevelopment theory. Approached

through a comparative examination of the life stories of several of its most important leaders, a political biography approach will allow

students to investigate postcolonial African regimes with depth and specificity without requiring of them any previous disciplinary

background. After a brief introduction to African political geography – students will learn the map of contemporary Africa – they will

systematically sample cases from each of the four broadly defined regions of the subcontinent (West, East, Central and South). But

Page 117: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

117

instead of dividing Africa geographically, this course will classify states according to their colonial past (Anglophone, Francophone,

Lusophone, Hispanophone, Italophone) in order to test, through comparison of empirical case studies, the central hypothesis of this

course: Different forms of colonial domination employed by the British, French, Belgian, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Afrikaaner

settlers resulted in different post-colonial experiences and regimes.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of the semester students should be able to identify all African states on a map. Additionally, they should have:

Have an historical understanding of contemporary African states, both their colonial and post-colonial eras

Know ‘who rules’ today, the dominant political forces (ethnic, electoral, commercial, etc.) and how political power has been

acquired and maintained

Be able to conduct biographical research on African leaders,

Be familiar with critical theories of dependency and underdevelopment, neo-colonialism, and imperialism.

IRD-EA-641: The Scramble for African Resources

Natural resources – like conflict oil and blood diamonds – have been blamed for many of Africa’s illnesses, including poverty,

corruption, dictatorship and war. This course will explore the debate on the ‘resource curse’ in sub-Saharan Africa, examining such

political-economic theories as ‘the paradox of plenty,’ the ‘Dutch disease,’ and the ‘rentier state.’ It also will explore how the politics of

extractive economies relate to conflict processes, examining ‘environmental scarcity’ theory, ‘greed versus grievance’ theory, and a

number of strong empirical correlations between raw materials export dependency and inter-group struggles for resources in the Third

World. Students will apply these theories and approaches to several of the most newsworthy African case studies: Gabon, Angola,

Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Congo-Brazzaville, Sierra Leone, São Tomé & Príncipe, Sudan, and Nigeria. The main theme of this course

is the ‘oil curse’ in Africa, but other natural resources such as diamonds and timber are also discussed. Its objectives are to describe

how primary- resource- dependent development creates dysfunctional politics, economics and government in Africa, and to evaluate

initiatives at the international level to change this problem. What makes this course special is its approach, breaking up the vast

theoretical literature on the oil curse into separate levels of analysis, moving down from the failure of international governance initiatives

to the successes of domestic social forces, to arrive by argumentative structure at the conclusions that real change has come not from

above but from below.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of the term students should have a fluency in theoretical perspectives on extractive economies, foreign relations, and

political violence, as well as current factual knowledge of politics and economics of country case studies. In the spirit of case study

method, students should be able to apply the theories to the cases appropriately, and argue plausible rival theoretical perspectives.

Finally students should be familiar with several proposed solutions to the problems evoked over the course of the semester, and should

be able to argue the relative merits of each.

IRD-EA-650 : Central and South America

Page 118: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

118

While leading to the sub-continent’s political emancipation, the independence wars of the early XIXth century, brought about the need

to address the problem of political modernity in Latin America. The development of the « Liberal Oligarchic Model » faced a number of

initial challenges and adaptations to the realities of what still remained «traditional societies ». In the early decades of the XXth century

– and in varying degrees from one country to another – the traditional structures of the Latin American « Oligarchic State » were

gradually challenged within a renewal of social and political movements. The Mexican revolution and the rise of populist parties are two

significant examples of such phenomenon. Administrative centralization and the development of State structures may be viewed as two

significant consequences.

After World War II and up to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Latin America became a playground for the ideological confrontations

that divided the post-war world. The populist State was now the standard reference model, but its application varied according to often

contradictory ideologies : from right-wing military regimes to the Cuban case. A phase of accelerated economic development (1950s

and 1960s), followed by phases of stagnation (1970s), crisis (1980s) and readjustment (1990s) accentuated existing social tensions

and has led, in some cases, to question the gradual return of a certain type of democracy in Latin America over the past twenty years.

Have the traditional demons of the past been exorcised?

Course Objective

The objective of this course is to study the contemporary evolution of Latin American politics within a historical perspective. Political

discourse, political parties, the organization of civil societies will be emphasized in order to reach an understanding of the particular

characteristics of Latin America’s political institutions within the overall context of modernity, as well as of economic and social change.

IRD-EA-660 : South Asia: Geopolitical Developments Since WWII

Students are expected to get a better understanding of the history of South Asia since the Second World War: assessing the

importance of this area in today’s “global village “cannot be divorced from a historical perception of the last six decades. The course

should fill a gap specially for students from Western countries whose knowledge and information regarding Asia may need to be

deepened.

This series of lectures is meant to give an overview of the developments of the last 60 years in South Asia, with a focus on India, based

on the experience of the instructor. Emphasis will therefore be on the general trends, whether political, economic or strategic, that have

affected the area. The students should thus be able to perceive the relevance of these historical developments to the world of today.

The participants to the course will have to write a short paper (maximum ten pages) which will be discussed in the lectures, on a topic

to be chosen from a list provided by the instructor.

IRD-EA-661 : East Asia: Geopolitical Developments Since WWII

China and the whole of East Asia have tremendous and growing importance and yet, too little is known in the West about the region. In

this course we will discuss in the main, the development of China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Despite having a marvelous and

advanced culture, through negligence of certain aspects of technology and internal strife, East Asia fell upon difficulties and was

Page 119: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

119

dominated by outside forces. Its potenial was realized by many, as Napoleon was said to have cautioned "Let China sleep, for when

she awakes the world will tremble". By tracing the history of the region, and in particular the recent history of East Asia, we will

understand better how East Asia is today an emerging and very powerful area. We will investigate the challenges that East Asia faces

today and the challenges that it presents to the rest of the world.

IRD-EA-670 : European Foreign Policies

The course on European Foreign Policies will present and discuss historical and contemporary foreign policies of the European

countries. It is not a class on the foreign policy of the European Union, or, strictly speaking, of EU member states, since we will also

mention countries that are geographically within the European sphere but are not members of the EU. The topics tackled by the course

encompass relevant issues in Europe and elsewhere such as global security, migration, development and participation in multilateral

institutions. Along the course we will look at how the individual European countries have interacted with the various regions of the world

in the modern and contemporary ages. The course seeks to provide students with conceptual tools that allow them to analyze and

compare different worldviews, traditions and strategies adopted by European countries to cope with the complexity of today’s

international politics.

Students are encouraged and expected to engage in class discussions, as well as to present and to share their views on specific issues

proposed in the program. Readings are assigned for each week; students are responsible for reading the course material prior to each

class. Other resources such as film presentations, invited speakers and in-class exercises will take place along the semester.

Evaluation consists on a term paper, mi-term exam, oral presentation and participation.

Learning objectives:

By the end of the course students are expected to:

Become acquainted with the timeline of European History from 1815 to the present

Acquire a good knowledge of the geography and geopolitics of the European States

Identify foreign policy traditions and orientations of the European States

Identify and analyze the main issues, actors and processes that shape European states’ interests and foreign policy strategies

Demonstrate a capacity to present oral and written policy briefings on these themes

IRD-EA-671 : The European Union and the World

This course explores critical issues related to the role the EC/EU has played in the international system since the signature of the

Treaty of Rome in 1957. As it will be seen along the semester, the EU is above all a peculiar actor with varying degrees of cohesion,

legal authority and influence. The program addresses the relations of the EU with powers such as the US and Russia, as well as with

other regions (such as the Mediterranean and North African countries) and groups (BRICS and the G20) that have become key world

players over the last twenty years. The course also tackles EU “actorness” across several areas such as environmental protection,

migration and defense, to name a few.

The course seeks to provide students with conceptual and analytical tools that will allow them to approach EU foreign policy issues C

Page 120: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

120

as well as the relations between the EU and other countries and organizations - from a critical perspective. Students are encouraged

and expected to engage in the discussions that take place in class, as well as to present and to share their views on specific issues

proposed in the program. Topics are introduced by the professor and followed by of students’ presentations and debate. Readings are

assigned for each week; students are responsible for reading the course material prior to each class. Further readings are available for

students interested in specific topics of the syllabus. Other resources (films, invited speakers) will be used along the course.

Students are expected to work on a constant basis throughout the course. Evaluation consists on a term paper, mi-term exam, oral

presentation and take-home assignments.

Learning objectives:

By the end of the course students are expected to:

Have acquired a good knowledge of the timeline of European integration since 1957

Understand the institutional framework of the EU, namely the institutions related to EU foreign policy making

Know the main issues of the current EU foreign policy agenda

Approach critically and from an analytical perspective different foreign policy issues, as well as the relations between the EU

and other states

Demonstrate the capacity to present oral and written analysis and policy briefings on topics related to EU foreign policy

IRD-EA-672 : Russian Politics

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia has emerged as the most important political player in the post-Soviet space.

The course will present both historical and contemporary aspects of Russian domestic politics, the evolution of Russian institutions and

its socio-cultural identity. After a brief review of the Russian political history since the inception of the Russian state, it will focus the

nature of the XX century Russian politics, its economic and cultural underpinnings, as well as competing political ideologies that

affected the evolution of Russian civilization. Special attention will be given to the representational forms and political modernization of

the past 25 years, from Gorbachev to Medvedev to Putin. The objective of the course is to give students a comprehensive view of 1)

historical genesis of current Russian political situation, and 2) offer a general overview of the current political situation in Russia.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering

( General Engineering)

– Overview

The General Engineering program offers students an interdisciplinary engineering education not generally available through

conventional single discipline programs. This fast- paced, outcome-focused and competency-based curriculum provides a

comprehensive program in basic engineering sciences, engineering management and entrepreneurship. It gives an opportunity to

students to choose a technical cluster of their choice while receiving a strong foundation in entrepreneurial management. The

combination of a sound theoretical background, the ability to apply such knowledge and management skills gives the graduate in

general engineering a sound but flexible base for a career.

In addition to gaining a solid background in management, graduates are equipped with detailed technical knowledge in their field.

They have the tools to innovate, lead, and strategically manage in an industry that increasingly rewards interdisciplinary expertise. The

student can move into practice or advanced study in the engineering branch of their choice. With equal ease, the student can prepare

for further study in management.

computer control and interfacing. This course also provides an overview of robot mechanisms, dynamics, and intelligent controls.

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING

This course provides an overview of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, which are essentially software applications that

runs all business areas of an organization including accounting and finance, HR, sales and distribution, production, purchasing and

inventory. It is cross-functional, process-centered, real time, and based on industry best practices, from service to manufacturing to

not-for-profit. It is important that business and systems engineers obtain working knowledge of these systems as in their careers they

will be ERP users, auditors, consultants, and/or developers. This course covers ERP theory and practice. Course content includes

evolution of ERP systems, business process reengineering, process mapping, the ERP life cycle, ERP functionality, auditing and risk

issues.

Semester 8 Computer Architecture and Interfaces

This course will start with explaining the organization of a computer and explain all the components involved. It then moves on to

bridging the gap between the high-level programming languages (e.g. C, Java) and the low-level electronic components (e.g.

transistors, gates). The course then discusses the details of designing a processor; i) a simple processor design, ii) pipelining iii)

memory organization and iv) multi-core processors. Several fundamental techniques, like pipelining, caching, and parallel execution

are introduced in standalone and embedded applications. This course takes the MIPS architecture as a vehicle to explain the

complexities and trade-offs in computer architecture.

Robotic Systems in Engineering

Resources

A project-based assessment would typically require a set of related workshops to support learners in the

early stages. These workshops would require extra resources in terms of tutors to run them.

At a minimal cost, the unit’s practical element could be focused on an open source simulator. However,

the learner would gain a deeper insight into the relevant problems if real robotic hardware resources were

made available.

Program Objectives, Outcome, and Size

The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering (CIE) that prepares graduates to practice across the spectrum of civil engineering.

Program Objectives The educational objectives of the Civil and Infrastructure Engineering program describe expectations for graduates approximately three to five years after obtaining their BS CIE degree. Graduates of the program will be professionals who:

1. Engage in the engineering practice of planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining sustainable

infrastructure;

2. Participate in public discussions concerning infrastructure in the urban, suburban, and exurban setting by

providing professional guidance;

3. Stay current through continuing education opportunities, professional conferences, graduate school, and other

self-learning experiences; have the ability to obtain and maintain professional licensing.

Program Learning Outcomes The department has adopted the following eleven program outcomes formulated by ABET for its Civil and Infrastructure B.S. degree:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering;

2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;

3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as

economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability;

4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams;

5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems;

6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility;

7. an ability to communicate effectively;

8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic,

environmental, and societal context;

9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning;

10. a knowledge of contemporary issues; and

11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

Program Size The department prides itself on maintaining a program small enough that undergraduates have ample opportunity to interact with faculty both in the classroom and outside, yet large enough that students can choose from an impressive array of electives, extra-curricular activities, and friends who will be colleagues for life.

7. Concentration in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The field of computer engineering can be described as a blend of electrical engineering and computer science. It is an

amalgam of the computer hardware orientation of an electrical engineering program and the operating systems and

languages of a computer science program. Computer engineers are involved in research, development, design, production,

and operation of a wide variety of digital systems, from integrated circuits to computer systems and large-scale computer

networks. Reflecting the industry trend to integrate hardware and software development, the computer engineering

program is built around software running on advanced hardware that can simulate and assist in the design of new digital

systems. Advanced software, such as VHDL, and software tools, such as logic and system design tools by Mentor

Graphics and Cadence Design Systems, can be used to model hardware and hardware functionality from the system and

architecture level down to the gate level and include relations to integrated circuit fabrication technology. Design and

testing methodology involving these tools is taught in the program. Career opportunities exist in engineering research and

development, product design, digital system design and integration, engineering management, engineering consultancy,

technical sales, and patent law, among others. The program provides a strong preparation for graduate study.

The curriculum provides a strong background in the fundamentals of computer engineering. A number of technical

elective specializations are offered, ranging from strongly hardware-oriented to strongly software-oriented ones. These

include Computer Networks, Signal Processing, Integrated Circuits, and Robotics and Embedded Systems. The

curriculum includes 9 credits of senior technical electives, and 3 credits of senior advanced design project, which may be

used for specialization in one of these technical areas. The requirements for the degree may be satisfied on a part-time or

co-op basis. Cooperative education provides students the opportunity to integrate paid career-related work experience with

classroom learning. Academic credit cannot be given for co-op experience.

Doctoral Supervisory Committee

The dissertation director must be a member of the SEOR graduate faculty or a member of

the UA graduate faculty with approval from the SEOR Department chair. The doctoral

supervisory committee must include at least three members from the SEOR Department-

approved graduate faculty, and at least one non-SEOR member from the UA faculty. The

composition of the doctoral supervisory committee is to be approved by the doctoral

coordinator. At least four members of the committee must be members of the Mason

graduate faculty.

Comprehensive Exam

The comprehensive exam is taken after the student has satisfactorily completed all the

advanced emphasis course work requirements in the approved plan of study filed by the

student. The examiners will include SEOR faculty and the supervisory committee plus any

outside examiners considered appropriate; however, the supervisory committee determines

whether the student passes or not. The comprehensive exam consists of an eight-hour

written exam and an oral exam. The committee will determine whether the student has a

mastery of the advanced emphasis course work. If a student fails the comprehensive exam,

the student may request a re-examination within 60 days of receiving notice of the exam

result. The request should be made in writing to the doctoral coordinator. If the student

fails the re-examination or does not request a re-examination within 60 days, the student

will be dismissed from the PhD program. In such a case, with recommendation of the

supervisory committee and approval of the SEOR Chair, the student may apply his/ her

coursework towards a Master's degree.

Dissertation Proposal

After passing the comprehensive exam, each doctoral student prepares a written

dissertation proposal, which is presented to the doctoral supervisory committee. After

successfully completing this requirement, the student is formally admitted as a candidate

for the PhD degree.

Dissertation Defense

When the central portions of the research have been completed to the point where the

student is able to describe the original contributions of the dissertation effort, a candidate

submits the written dissertation to the supervisory committee and schedules an oral

predefense with the committee. The predefense is attended by the supervisory committee.

The supervisory committee must approve the work or the student must schedule a second

predefense.

Important Notice: PhD dissertations are extremely time intensive and successful

completion requires full time focus. It is expected that students who have reached

candidacy will spend full time on their research for at least one academic year and will

attend the majority of the SEOR Seminars.

Once the committee believes the student is ready, a final public oral defense may be

scheduled no sooner than one month after the conclusion of the predefense, with an

announcement posted for at least two weeks. The defense must be attended by the

supervisory committee and the department's doctoral coordinator, unless an exception has

Page 174: uaglobal.usuaglobal.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/2019_UA_Catalog_4_Web… · 2 CHANCELLOR`S MESSAGE ''..Lesser minds discuss people, ordinary minds discuss things, and great minds

174

been approved in advance by the doctoral coordinator. Following a satisfactory evaluation

of the oral defense of the dissertation by the supervisory committee, the student must

prepare, with supervision from the dissertation director, a final publishable dissertation

that represents a definitive contribution to knowledge in systems engineering and

operations research. This document must meet format guidelines specified by the Guide

for Preparing Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Projects. If the student fails to

successfully defend the dissertation, the student may request a second defense, following

the same procedures as for the initial defense. There is no time limit for this request, other

than the general time limits for the doctoral degree. An additional predefense is not

required, but the student is strongly advised to consult with the committee before

scheduling a second defense. If the student fails on the second attempt to defend the

dissertation, the student will be dismissed from the PhD program.
