National Model United Nations (NMUN) [M-377]

With over 5,000 university students from all over the world participating, National Model United Nations (NMUN) is the largest and most authentic simulation of the United Nations (UN). Located in New York City, NMUN takes place annually and is partly held at the UN facilities on the East River. The full expenses of registration, room and board are covered by the college. The program runs every spring. The goal of the NMUN simulation is to provide students (from over 250 international universities) with a better understanding of the inner workings of the United Nations as they build skills in diplomacy, negotiation and compromise. The structure, organizational design, and agenda are set so that the conference is as realistic and comparable to actual UN conferences as possible. Students interested in participating in the NMUN must apply and, if accepted, must enroll in the three (3) credit political science course, POL 7100, “International Organizations,” which will prepare them for effective participation in the NMUN. Applications become available each fall for this competitive program.
