AFirst ant foremost all I can say is be ready to read. If you really wish to do well in the class read everything the professor provides and more. You should began to search current events magazine and news papers. A few good ones to consider are Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor. In addition, your university most likely has some sort database system, if I were you I would try to find some current articles. Some current events you may consider are, the worlds response to the Olympic games in China, Vladimir Putin and Russia, North Korea, Iran, political elections in Zimbabwe, and Cuba just to name a few. This class should be really fun just don't be afraid of answering a question wrong, the professor is not going to count you it against for a wrong answer as long as you participate.

AI was in the same boat a couple years ago.Forget international relations and political science. They don't exist. Those classes will be the most boring, frustrating and infuriating hours you've ever spent in a classroom. They attempt to apply academic theories to history, except it never works. Ever. International relations can only honestly be seen as history. You can study everything that's ever happened and try to draw conclusions from that. But attempting to predict the future based on something some dead guy wrote 400 years ago is futile.Do you talk a lot in class? If you do, law might be a good fit for you. The people who tend to study and excel in law are the people who truly care about their studies and go above and beyond what's required. Because it's not like you can just cover a chapter and then you're done. You have to read case after case after case until you truly understand it and retain it. If you're the type of person who rolls their eyes every time someone puts up their hand, you'll probably drop law pretty quickly.Business is a very big idea. There's no such thing as just "business" in general. The basic principles behind it are important, but it leads in a million different directions. People who excel in business, both at school and in life, tend to be very motivated and driven. They compete and they challenge each other. They're different from the law crowd. The law people learn as much as they can. The business people only care about winning.History is perfect for people who are undecided. You learn truly interesting things with clear relations to the world today. You get to read and write and speak and express yourself. You'll meet interesting people and you'll discover things you never knew existed. And in four years, you'll have an absolutely useless degree unless you want to go back to grad school, in which case you'll have an absolutely useless degree in six years.

AWow! These are all so fuzzy and non-career enhancing. You really need to consider a useful minor such as economics or languages - or both, and quit screwing around with shallow cocktail-party education.

AHi Terence,Bogazici University, Bilgi University and Sabanci University are known to hold programs as such, but requirements and time-period varies. Some of these programs would be offered only for students already enrolled, and during the summer semester for instance, while some are open to any and everyone interested (Bilgi is famous for the latter). I suggest checking their web-sites for information: http://www.boun.edu.tr/index_eng.htmlhttp://www.bilgi.edu.tr/http://www.sabanciuniv.edu/Alternately, you might consider 'auditing' courses or seminars in these and other universities if unable to find an entire program. So visit the web pages of the departments of relevance and check the course offerings-- you might find an interesting class or a professor to contact. Note that you may or may not be asked to pay per credit for the class(es) you would audit. Hope this helps.
