The AS490 spring term course examines security issues, international institutions, foreign policy decision making, and military power. During this course, students will research and analyze how security policies are developed, how leaders make use of force decisions, and how unilateral and multilateral military operations are executed.

This course is for SBS who want to learn to teach their peers to be successful in college. Students assist a primary instructor in the teaching of a First Year Seminar that meets weekly throughout the semester. In addition, some assignments will occasionally require working with the FY students outside of class. Students in this class meet weekly in their own seminar where they discuss issues around classroom management, teaching techniques, and organizational skills, such as working with Moodle.
