  • UST 831 - Political Philosophy and Public Administration

    (4 credits)
    Examines the writings of major political philosophers and the way in which they have helped shape discourse in public administration. It seeks to help students become more aware of the character of the presuppositions regarding the nature of a state, which undergird the writings of various public administration scholars. Ideas regarding the composition, authority, and engagements of government and administration, as well as the rights and obligations of citizens, are discussed drawing on original writings from different schools of philosophy, including rationalism, empiricism, positivism, utilitarianism, romanticism, pragmatism, idealism, analytical philosophy, phenomenology, and existentialism. Students are encouraged to see how these ideas can be discerned in the public administration literature and how they affect the way in which the character and tasks of contemporary public administration are viewed. Cross-listed with UST 771.

  • WLC 502 - Intercultural Competence

    (2 credits)
    As the catalog description of the M.A. Program in Global Interactions makes clear, “Employers have consistently pointed to the need for master’s program graduates to gain an enhanced capacity to interact with and live in foreign societies and cultures.” This two-credit course in Intercultural Competence is designed with this goal in mind. In this class, students will explore their own cultural identity and develop an awareness of how their identity and cultural values impact their ability to interact with other cultural groups. The course design follows a workshop format that integrates intercultural training techniques to engage students in reflective activities that focus on the skills, knowledge and attitudes from which intercultural competence emerges.
