Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs. May 14, 1988

I attended Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. I received an excellent liberal arts education and developed much as a person, community member and learner. It was a great fit for my curiosity and drive as academic excellence was expected. The small class sizes allowed for much group discussion and access to the professors.

I graduated in May of 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs. Here I excelled in an interdisciplinary curriculum focusing on history, the arts, political science, literature and French. My cumulative GPA was 3.17. I was a member of the Political Science Honor Society based on my achievement in these classes.

The total number of credits of French language courses taken both at Trinity University and in Paris, France is 46 credit hours. In addition, I took a total of 30 credit hours of francophone related classes in the fields of political science, literature, art history, film, geography and the research and writing of my senior thesis on French constitutional politics. Of these classes, 11 credit hours were taught in the French language.

I spent two academic years studying in France at La Sorbonne, L'Institut Catholique, and my final year at L'Institut d'Etudes Politiques. To attend the program at "SciPo" as L'Institut d'Etudes Politiques is known, there was a rigorous entrance exam. Word was it was intense, thus I studied all summer to get in while waiting tables as well as doing a volunteer project in Beaufort, France.
