MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
----------------------------------------------------
Salve Regina University of Newport, RI, has announced it will offer the
Master of Arts in International Relations to distance learners via computer
and modem. Courses will begin in the Fall of 1994.
With the dawn of the 21st century, dynamic changes have occurred, and others
are taking place that will impact on virtually every person in the world
community of nations. The prospects for peace over war, for economic
well-being over poverty, and for fulfillment of certain political, social,
and cultural aspirations influence the relations of states and continue to
challenge the emerging new world order.
It is in this context that the International Relations program focuses on the
world not only as it is, but also as it should be, in light of the enduring
central values of the world's great civilizations.
The courses, designed for graduates seeking a broader and deeper
understanding of the contemporary world, will help prepare them for their
role in the increasingly interdependent world of the 21st century.
The chief focus of the program is a search for new avenues to global harmony
and justice. Courses in the program, however, are designed to meet the
individual needs of students and help them prepare for or enhance their
careers in government, international organizations, business, finance,
teaching, research or further study.

Salve Regina University
Information Guide
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Salve Regina University offers a variety of graduate programs leading to
the degree of Master or Arts or Master of Science. Degrees may be earned
through study in residence or through Extension Study with a five day
residency during the summer Institute.
A. Rationale of the Graduate Program
1. The graduate program of Salve Regina University has two goals:
i. To help the individual who enrolls to realize his/her own full
potential and,
ii. through focused study in a professional area, to prepare each student
to help others toward self-actualization.
2. Specific objectives of the Graduate Program are as follows:
i. To create an opportunity for critical analysis and problem solving
from a Judeo-Christian perspective.
ii. To stimulate growth in wisdom by integrating the knowledge and
experience gained by the student both inside and outside the classroom.
iii. To incorporate the study of ethics in each program's curriculum.
B. Graduate Extension Study
1. Extension study is a highly personalized alternative to the traditional
classroom approach to learning. It involves a one-on-one relationship with
instructors who guide your learning and monitor your progress through the
course. Detailed study guides, prepared by faculty members, provide a
structured step-by-step approach to learning while allowing you the utmost
flexibility in organizing your study time.
2. Extension study requires self-discipline and motivation. In addition,
since course work is based primarily on the written word, good reading and
writing skills are vital to success. However, if you are not able to attend
college on a regular basis, extension study at Salve Regina offers an
excellent way to learn.
C. Eligibility
Students who possess an undergraduate degree from an accredited college
or university and have the determination and ability to pursue a demanding
course of study at the graduate level are eligible to apply for admission to
Salve Regina University and Extension Study.
D. Courses of Study
Salve Regina University offers advanced degrees through Graduate
Extension Study in the following fields of study:
Master of Arts in International Relations
Master of Science in Management
E. Residency
Students who are working toward an MA or MS degree primarily through
Extension Study must fulfill a residency requirement. The requirement can be
accomplished by attending a five day summer institute which is scheduled
through the last weekend in June, by on-campus attendance during a semester,
or by special arrangement.
F. Time
All program work must be completed within five years, beginning with the
date of completion of the first course applied toward the degree.
G. Accreditation
Salve Regina University is accredited by the New England Association of
Schools and Colleges, which accredits schools and colleges in the six New
England states. Accreditation by the Association indicates that the
institution has been carefully evaluated and found to meet standards agreed
upon by qualified educators.
II. PROCEDURAL INSTRUCTIONS
A. General
Although Extension Study offers a very flexible approach to learning,
there are regulations which must be observed and requirements which must be
met. It is the responsibility of all students enrolled in Extension courses
to familiarize themselves with, and adhere to, the contents of the
Information Guide in order to gain the maximum benefit from their studies.
B. Admissions
Students applying for admission to the University will be evaluated by
the Admissions Committee upon receipt of the following:
1. A completed application form and $25.00 fee.
2. Official transcripts from all degree-granting institutions that the
student attended.
3. Two letters of recommendation from people who can attest to your ability
to complete graduate work.
4. Scores of the Miller Analogies Test(MAT), Graduate Record Exam(GRE), or
General Management Aptitude Test(GMAT).
Foreign students must provide a copy of the TOEFL scores and a
certificate of financial ability.
Students submitting a completed application form and the $25.00 fee may
enroll in a course while completing the admissions process.
C. Matriculation and Candidacy Status
Applicants with the goal of an advanced degree who are accepted for
Extension Study must go through the same process of matriculation and
advancement to candidacy as do students in the on-campus graduate program.
The purpose of this process in both programs is to provide a mechanism that
allows the graduate faculty to get to know each student as an individual
through periodic reviews of the student's academic goals and progress toward
them.
1. Matriculation
Matriculation occurs after the student has completed the admissions
process and paid the commitment fee. The matriculation interview is
conducted via a conference call in which the initial plan of study is
formulated by the student and his/her ad hoc committee, comprised of the Dean
of Graduate Studies, the Director of Graduate Extension Study, and the
Graduate Director of the student's choice of program.
When the requirements listed immediately above have been met, the
student will be so notified in writing by the Graduate Dean. Candidacy
status is the next step.
2. Candidacy
A matriculated student may apply for candidacy status upon completion of
at least five but no more than seven courses. The student should submit a
request for candidacy through the Extension Study Office to the Graduate
Dean. The ad hoc committee will assess the student's progress and determine
his/her readiness for candidacy. When candidacy status has been achieved,
the student will be notified in writing by the Graduate Dean.
D. Course Registration
A student may obtain registration materials once the admissions form and
fee have been submitted to the University. These materials include a
registration form, fee information and payment instruction. Upon receipt of
the completed form and tuition, course materials and books are forwarded.
New students may register for only one course. Upon completion of that
course, matriculated students may request to register for more than one
course at a time. Non-matriculated students may register for one more course
before completing the admissions process.
E. Tuition, Fees and Refunds
Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice. The University
reserves the right to change any of the general or specific fees.
1. Tuition effective for the 1994-1995 academic Year is $300.00 per credit
hour or $900.00 per 3 credit course. All courses are 3 credits and full
payment is required at the time of registration for each course.
2. Fees
$ 25.00 Application to the University
$100.00 Commitment Fee (upon acceptance)
$125.00 Commencement Fee
$ 3.00 Per official transcript
3. Refund for Withdrawal
Students who request permission to withdraw are entitled to a partial
refund of tuition and fees as follows:
i. 80% of the course tuition and book fee. The withdrawal request must
be received by the Extension Study Office within one month of the date course
materials were shipped, and all course materials must be returned unused and
undamaged.
ii. 80% of the course tuition: Same time limit as 3i. above, except you
decide to keep your course materials. (If you later re-enroll for the same
course, and the course materials in your possession are still being used, you
will not be charged again for the cost of these materials.)
iii. 60% of the course tuition: Request received by Extension Study Office
within two months of the date course materials were shipped.
iv. Thereafter, requests for withdrawal will produce no refund.
4. Method of Payment
Tuition charges and fees may be paid by check, money order, or credit
card, (MASTERCARD, VISA, American Express, Discover Card). Payments are due
in full as specified above. Foreign students must make arrangements to pay
charges with American currency.
F. Financial Aid
Salve Regina University assists students in applying for loans through the
Federal Family Educational Loan Programs, particularly the Federal Stafford
Loans. These loans are available to all students and may be used to fund
education at the University provided the student maintains continuous
quantitative and qualitative progress.
G. Benefits for Veterans and Active Duty Service Persons.
1. Eligibility
Courses taken by extension study are approved for veterans, servicemen
and women currently on active duty, and for certain wives, widows, and
children. Contact your local Veteran's Administration Office or Educational
Officer for further information about your eligibility.
2. Reimbursement
Students are required to pay Salve Regina the full amount of tuition and
fees when enrolling for Extension Study courses. Those eligible for tuition
assistance or VA benefits will be reimbursed by the appropriate government
agency. Only matriculated students will receive reimbursement payments.
H. Completion of Degree Requirement/Graduation
1. The Master's Degree is conferred upon the student who has:
i. Successfully completed the required program of studies with a final
grade of C or better in every course and an overall average of B-.
ii. Completed an exit review (see 2 below).
iii. Appropriately filed for degree (see 3 below).
iv. Been recommended by the student's ad hoc committee for the degree.
All outstanding financial obligations to the University must also be
met, including payment of graduation fee.
2. Successful completion of the Exit Review
The purpose of the exit review is threefold:
i. To provide a closure to the program.
ii. To enable students to review some substantial topics of learning in
their individual program.
iii. To demonstrate a facility for discussing such topics cogently.
The exit review process is as follows. Upon completion of all
requirements, the candidate must submit a synthesis paper (usually five to
six pages) to the Extension Study Office outlining his/her academic
achievement in the Graduate Program. The ad hoc committee evaluates this
paper and the student's progress in the program to determine if both the
student's and the program's goals have been met. If the committee agrees
that the goals have been met, it will recommend the candidate to the Graduate
Dean as having satisfied all requirements for the degree.
3. File for Degree
At least six months prior to the anticipated date of graduation, the
student will receive a "File for Degree Form" from the Registrar's Office.
This form must be completed and submitted according to the accompanying
directions.
I. Withdrawals
Students wishing to withdraw from a course must transmit a letter to the
Graduate Extension Study office requesting withdrawal. The request will be
forwarded to the Graduate Dean. Students are not officially withdrawn from
courses until approval has been secured from the Dean. If the request to
withdraw is approved, the student will receive a "W" in lieu of a final grade
on the official transcript.
J. Re-enrollment
1. A student who has voluntarily withdrawn from Extension Study will be
given consideration for re-enrollment upon receipt by the Director of a
written request. Normally, six months must elapse before re-enrollment in the
program will be considered. Requests will be evaluated on their own merits.
2. Students who re-enroll within five years will receive full credit for all
courses previously completed.
K. Transcripts
Students wishing to transfer credits to another institution should send a
written request to the Registrar, Salve Regina University, Newport, RI 02840.
The request should include a fee of $3.00 per transcript and specify the
institution to which transcripts are to be sent.
L. Communication with the Extension Study Office
1. Office Hours
The Extension Study Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) throughout the calendar year. The office
observes all national holidays, Good Friday and VJ Day (state holiday August
8th). The office is closed during the week between Christmas and New Year's
Day.
2. Phone, FAX, and E-Mail Numbers
The telephone number is 800-637-0002. Students may call the 800 number
24 hours a day to leave a message. The FAX number is 401-849-0702. Students
may also contact the Director by electronic mail using
MISTOL@Salve3.Salve.edu
3. Academic Counseling
As a prospective or active student in Extension Study, you may obtain
academic counseling about your educational needs and goals through the
Extension Study Office. You may contact us by whatever means is most
convenient to you.
M. Communication with Individual Instructors
As you progress through each course, you will receive feedback from your
instructor on each assignment, including your final examination. Either you
or your instructor may chose to supplement the exchange by telephone
conversations or electronic messaging.
III. PROCEDURES FOR ASSIGNMENTS
A. Honor and Integrity
All assignments submitted to the Extension Study Office must represent
the individual student's own work. In addition, papers written for other
courses may not be "recycled," even in part. Violation of these policies may
result in failure in the course and dismissal from the University.
B. Submission of Assignments
All Extension courses are structured in Module format. The time limit
for completion of each course is six months, therefore, students should plan
to complete a module and submit an assignment every month. Once you have
submitted an assignment, begin working on the next module immediately.
Each package of course materials comes with directions for preparing and
transmitting your assignments. Your adherence to these directions is critical
for processing and grading purposes. Please keep a copy of your assignment in
case the original gets lost in transmission.
C. Incompletes
A student who is not able to complete a course within the six months
allowed may request an Incomplete. The request must be transmitted to the
Director before the scheduled end date for the course. The Registrar will be
notified of the approval for an Incomplete. No Incomplete may continue beyond
six months. Incompletes will be calculated as failures until the course work
has been completed and a final grade reported. No subsequent course
registrations may be submitted until the "I" has been removed. Failure to
complete all course requirements within the additional six months will result
in the student receiving a final grade of "F" for the course and, if
appropriate, action by the VA to recoup educational benefits previously paid
to the student for that course.
D. Style
All submitted assignments should conform to one of the three most widely
used styles: Turabian style, Modern Language Association of America (MLA)
style or American Psychological Association of America (APA) style.
Some courses contain requirements for a series of short responses. The
nature of the requirement and the instructor's directions should dictate the
style and format of such responses.
E. Syntax and Spelling
The main virtue in any presentation is clarity. However, lack of clarity
is more easily perceived by the reader than the writer. Consequently,
students should pay particular attention to sentence and paragraph structure.
Where appropriate, your instructor will offer constructive comments.
Sloppy editing and careless spelling errors are not acceptable at the
graduate level. Proofread your work and make corrections before you submit
it.
F. Documentary Notes and Bibliographies
Documentation through notes and a bibliography of reference material used
to prepare assignments is mandatory in the following situations:
1. If your instructor requires it.
2. If additional research materials are use to prepare your response.
3. When it becomes necessary to support a point you are making that might
otherwise be open to serious question by a well-informed reader.
Examples of correct usage may be found in almost every course text.
G. Miscellaneous Instructions
State the topic or question you are addressing before beginning your
answer.
Double space all assignments.
Number all pages consecutively.
Use the transmittal form when submitting each assignment.
Leave appropriate margins or spacing for instructor comments.
Staple or bind assignments submitted via mail.
Use subtitles or captions to help guide your reader through lengthy or
complex papers.
Do not count endnotes or bibliography pages toward the fulfillment of
minimum page count requirements.
H. Evaluation Process
Your instructor will first evaluate your response to determine if you
have demonstrated an understanding of the basic principles and concepts the
course is designed to convey. The response will then be evaluated in terms
of its logical development and depth of analysis. Instructors may make
comments or notations on your paper, as well as longer comments on a separate
sheet. These personalized comments are designed to be a continuation of the
learning process and provide a constructive, critical analysis of your work.
All instructor comments being sent to the students will be reviewed by
the Extension Study Director. Copies of all such comments will be placed in
the student's academic file at the Extension Study Office. This file will
become the major source of information about the student's academic
performance and progress. Instructors also complete an anecdotal report for
each student.
At the completion of the course you will receive a "Course Evaluation
Form." Fill out the form and return it to the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Your comments will be read by the instructor, your Graduate Director, the
Extension Study Director and the Graduate Dean. All Constructive comments
are welcome. (Of course, if anything is seriously wrong, do not hesitate to
let us know immediately.)
I. Grades
1. Course Modules and Examinations
Letter grades, with pluses or minuses as appropriate, will be given for
all assignments as follows:
A Excellent
A-

COURSE DESCRIPTION SUMMARIES
HUM500: Research Seminar.
In this course, students explore various research techniques and apply that
knowledge not only in critically analyzing existing research but also in
designing and implementing their own research project. Concepts addressed in
the course include preparation of a literature review, qualitative and
quantitative approaches, triangulation methods, research designs and their
inherent threats to internal and external validity, sampling techniques, data
collection methods, and ethical considerations. Note: this course must be
taken in the first year of the program.
HUM501: Ethical Perspectives on Global Issues.
Students examine and compare the ethical standards and approaches of Western
and non-Western moralists in the resolution of major moral issues. Readings
include such topics as nuclear proliferation, the search for peace,
ecological issues, world hunger, and genetic engineering.
INR502: Foundations of International Relations.
Students explore the salient issues involving conflict or cooperation in
contemporary international politics. The major topics include nation-state
systems; struggle for power among nations; continuities and changes in
current international relations; the role of diplomacy, ideology, economics,
military force, war, nuclear weapons, international law and organizations;
the quest for community; and the relationship of moral and religious values
to some of the problems of international relations.
INR504: International Law.
Students examine the role international law plays in today's dynamic world.
Topics include the ever-evolving concepts of legal order, jurisdiction,
territoriality, nationality, extradition, and sovereignty over land, sea, and
air space, as well as the broadening impact of human rights, statehood,
diplomacy, treaties, and international economic regulations. Students
examine, too, the ongoing quest to regulate the use of force, including
United Nations peacekeeping operations.
INR518: Russia and Eastern European Politics.
Students establish a conceptual framework for understanding the international
relations of the Eastern European states since 1945. Special attention is
devoted to recent changes in the Russian government's approach toward foreign
policy. The global impact of these developments is considered.
INR524: Africa's Global Perspectives.
Students analyze the fundamental factors in influencing the relations of

Special emphasis is on the broader Asian and global trends, including Japan
and the developing impact of the Pacific Rim states.
INR535: Central Asia and India: Foreign Policy Concerns.
Central Asia, long divided between Russia and China, has partially returned
to the international system. Five ex-Soviet republics - Turkmenistan,
Tadzhikistan, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan - as well as Out Mongolia
must rapidly develop their weak economies, revive fragile cultures, and
devise astute foreign policies if they are to survive. This course considers
their history, politics, and relationships with neighboring states, stressing
their impact upon the Indian Sub-continent.
INR550: North America in the New World.
Topics studied include the postwar "revolution" in North American foreign
policy and the effects of rapid change and economic ecological crisis on that
policy.
INR561: Contemporary Problems in Central and South America.
Students focus on the major political, social, and economic problems facing
Central and South America today. They examine the political culture and
processes, political interest groups, and the solutions proposed by
constitutional, military, and leftist regimes to the problem of political
instability. Other issues discussed are economic underdevelopment and
dependency, including demographic problems, unbanization, and agrarian
reform.
INR568: Contemporary International Issues.
Major problems in international relations are analyzed in a seminar on a
selected case-study basis. Topics include global concerns ranging from
nuclear proliferation through international terrorism to world
overpopulation, hunger, degradation of the global environment, and a new
international economic order.
INR586: The Middle East.
Students examine the following interrelated subject areas in an effort to
better understand how they influence and shape events in the Middle East: the
Peoples of the Middle East, Islam, the Arab-Israeli Problem, Oil, Iran's
Revolution, the Iran-Iraq War, the Iraq-Kuwait War, and Gulf Security.
