We will study theoretical works on terrorism, as well as histories of specific terrorist organizations from across the world.

	The mental health of U.S. citizens has continued to decline at a staggering rate. Whether it is evidenced through substance addiction, violence, rising health care costs or many other indicators, we can no longer ignore this often stigmatized health issue. This class helps students understand if/how our federal government is attempting to address this ever increasing crisis. Are our current policies effective? If not, how can we change them? What populations do our federal law makers find deserving of access to mental health services and what populations are being overlooked? How do access and payment policies impact the success or failure of any of our policy interventions? This class helps to answer these questions while also providing students with the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to advocate for change.
LPPS 7300 Principles of Foreign Policy Assessment

	This course is designed to acquaint students with the fundamentals of military force and national grand strategy; that is, with the political uses of military power and the respective roles of military and civilian leaders in formulating and implementing foreign policy. Most commonly, comparative national estimates, or net assessments, of the adversariesâ€™ balance of interests and capabilities are the driving factors shaping statesâ€™ foreign policy. Additionally, we will investigate how military force and preparations thereof affect civil society and how the characteristics of statesâ€™ domestic politics and policies affects the ways that leaders execute their chosen strategies.
