Students have five months upon registration in which to complete all coursework and exams. Students may purchase course extensions using this link.
During the first 15 days of enrollment, you may drop a self-paced course for a full refund, minus a $150 administrative fee. Alternately, you may transfer from one self-paced course to another self-paced course for a non-refundable $50 fee. Either transaction can be initiated using the Drop/Transfer Request Form. No refunds are available for self-paced courses after 15 days of enrollment.
Note that students are permitted to use up to two UEX courses to support the completion of their required 30 hours in the CAP program. Taking additional courses with UEX could transfer to UT Austin, but will not count in the approved 30 hours needed to complete CAP.

GOV 312L: Issues and Policies in American Government: U.S. Foreign Policy
Since its founding, the United States has played a central role in shaping the larger international political order. American victories in World War I, World War II and the Cold War coupled with its support for democracy and open global markets stand at the heart of this legacy. At the same time, external pressures in the form of war, globalization and the spread of transnational ideological movements have stressed American institutions and shaped an evolving American national identity. This course explores this mutually interactive relationship by examining the making of American foreign policy over the past two centuries more broadly. It explores such topics as American entry into World Wars I and II, the role of Congress in foreign policy making, the construction of the national security state in the twentieth century, competing partisan conceptions of America’s national interest, the Cold War, nuclear deterrence and proliferation, territorial expansion, trade liberalization, nation building, humanitarian intervention and more recent challenges like terrorism.
