Courseload

The Institute for Law, Science and Global Security in the Department of Government will be hosting a three week, three credit course on "International Law and Security" at the Villa le Balze in Fiesole, Italy for three weeks from July 5 -26, 2010. The program is open to graduate students, as well as juniors and seniors in excellent standing who have received prior departmental approval from the Government Department.

The cost of the program includes tuition for 3 credits, room and board, guest lectures, insurance and other onsite expenses. Please note that this does not include the transportation costs associated with travel to and from the Villa. The program is open to students at Georgetown University as well as other academic institutions.

This course will bring together a number of noted scholars and practitioners in the field to provide the instruction for this course in Italy. The course will examine international law as it relates to topics such as: terrorism, status and treatment of detainees, preemptive self-defense, humanitarian intervention, arms control, weapons of mass destruction, war crimes, intelligence, human rights, and the environment. The program will also include field trips to relevant sites, as well as crisis simulations.
Students may choose to supplement this course to further explore an area or topic discussed during the program by registering for a 3-credit tutorial (during summer school). Students interested in earning these credits should enroll in a second session summer tutorial with one of the Program faculty members (tuition for the extra tutorial credits is not included in the Villa Le Balze program fee, regular on-campus summer tuition applies).

In the event of cancellation, Georgetown University will refund program deposits and 100% of recoverable program fees.
