Getting a Job at the United Nations

The UN Seminar takes students to the United Nations Headquarters on a two-week study tour aimed at learning more about the multilateral organization and its role in promoting development. The group attends briefings by UN officials on contemporary economic, political and social issues facing the world.

The intensive two-week experience in the summer will provide students a close look at the workings of the United Nations and permit them, through the sessions at the UN and the Permanent Missions, to learn a great deal about sundry global issues, and the approaches adopted by particular countries and the UN in dealing with them.

A highlight of the program is its collaborative nature: Students from Etown join college students from Wisconsin and the Netherlands. The entire group, including the faculty, stays at the Vanderbilt YMCA in Manhattan, a stone's throw from the UN Headquarters.
