"The United States and the World in the 21st Century" is a new, two-credit class that is also open to the public as a lecture series. It is designed to help students and the public better understand the U.S.'s policies and use of military intervention in the increasingly complex and volatile environment post-9/11 and post-Iraq war. Global conflicts in the Korean Peninsula, the Middle East, Africa, South America and Europe as well as new developments will be examined and discussed.

The public is invited free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, or can register for the full course through the SFSU College of Extended Learning, at (415) 405-4321 and get college credit for getting up to speed on world affairs.
