This course will provide students with a profound knowledge of military conflicts and leaders who have significantly affected developments throughout the modern age. Beginning with the Thirty-Years War, the course examines the prominent European and American military leaders and leadership skills from the age of religious conflicts in Europe through the Second World War. The course encompasses the periods of medieval warfare, absolutism, imperialism and colonialism, revolution and the emergence of democracy, and the rise of twentieth-century fascism. Course activities consist of lectures, tours of historic sites, films, class discussions, reading assignments, quizzes and examinations. Students taking this course are required to participate in the tours of Dachau and the “Eagle’s Nest” in Berchtesgaden.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.

Die Anrechnung der Kurse der UNO-IBK International Summer School muss von den Studierenden selbst vorab mit den zuständigen StudiendekanInnen geklärt werden. Diese allein entscheiden über die Anerkennung der belegten Kurse für das jeweilige Studienfach. Es wird empfohlen, sich einen Vorabbescheid über die Anerkennung der Kurse ausstellen zu lassen.
