No, you can't take a language course for one of your electives. Sorry. That said, my Spanish was rusty; nonetheless, I passed the language test because (1) they allow you to bring in a vocab book and a verb book, and (2) your speaking skills don't get tested.

I'm a current student at Korbel; and since the Middle East is a long-time interest of mine (this is a midlife career change), I was delighted to discover the concentration in Middle East Studies AND ISIME (Institute for the Study of Israel in the Middle East). Terrorism is also a big concentration at Korbel -- professors include Dr. Paul Viotti (formerly taught at the USAFA and is a member of the CFR), Dr. Karen Feste (she's written books on conflict resolution and has a new one out called TERMINATE TERRORISM), Dr. Hal Gregory (on loan from the CIA), Greg Moser (homeland security) and whomever will come in to replace Dr. Peg Sanders (formerly of the CIA -- just retired). I started at Korbel last summer and have been extremely impressed (far more than I expected to be) with the school. Professors, fellow students, special programs/speakers, Student Affairs and and the Career Center ... they're all outstanding. --Carol
