Model United Nations Program

Are you interested in a career in diplomacy, journalism, law, international business or government? The Model United Nations program at Corpus Christi College is a dynamic program which integrates academic study, public speaking and debating skills and research in preparation for students to engage in international and national Model United Nations simulations.

Honduras, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka are all countries CCC students represented during the 2007-08 season...students spend months in preparation, studying the political economy of their assigned team.

Together with their faculty sponsors, students spend months in preparation, studying the political economy of their assigned team. Honduras, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka are all countries CCC students represented during the 2007-08 season of MUNs. You will learn to engage on the international scene as authentically as possible while "in character" representing diplomats from your assigned country. Your "delegation" will spend hours caucusing, building alliances, making agreements and striving to achieve the best possible outcomes given the simulated scenarios for your country. Be careful; Security Council crises often throw the most prepared delegations into chaos. One never knows what might happen on the international stage.

Each year a limited number of students may apply to participate in three MUN experiences. In 2007, students traveled to Washington D.C. to participate in the U.S. National Model United Nations. This spring, students will compete in the largest MUN in the world in New York City, where they will visit the actual UN for a general assembly and will test their diplomatic skills among some of the most able students in the world. More than 300 universities will travel to New York for this experience and Corpus Christi will sponsor eight students for the trip.
