I have reviewed the entire Bachelor's program and I am most interested in the introduction to International Relations, Sociology, General Social Psychology, and State Politics and Governance course. I am originally from Sierra Leone and have had first-hand experience with social breakdown including civil conflict, lack of education and poverty.
