Abstract: United States International University offers a course that requires students who major in International Relations to cross boarders to regional countries that have frequent civil conflicts such as Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo. The particular class visits either two or one of these countries for a range of eight to ten days. The course helped students, especially those majoring in International Relations, know the significance and purpose as to why the institutions offers this course and requires the particular students to study and not only know better about the countries but to also witness the happenings of certain circumstances and gain facts instead of ‘stories’ told. The class of Spring 2016 visited Rwanda and Uganda from the 5th March, 2016 to the 13th March, 2016 it did not give the ability to only view the sites of Kigali and Rwanda but to also learn a few different languages such as Kinyarwanda. Taking part in the Field Study with my colleague and my other colleague, who is a Rwandese citizen made us intrigued to find out more about what happened before and after the genocide in Rwanda and its development as a state. As students of International Relations, it’s important to recognize the institutions and the other states that were also involved in the conflict resolution and the stability of the country today in terms of its social relations, economic stability as well as their political stability with the help of gathered information before; during the Field Study and interacting with citizens of the state.
Keywords: students, regional countries, International Relations, Rwandese citizen.
