CSUSB Model United Nations (CSUSB-MUN)
Build Skills. Broaden Perspectives. Make a Difference.
Step into the world of global diplomacy with the CSUSB Model United Nations Program. If you want to sharpen your critical thinking, build an international network, and stand out on your resume, this is where it happens. CSUSB MUN immerses students in real-world global issues, the United Nations system, and the ways countries work together to solve complex challenges.
Beyond the classroom, you’ll develop practical skills that actually translate—public speaking, negotiation, conflict resolution, and professional writing—while forming lasting friendships and experiencing opportunities that go far beyond campus. Alumni have leveraged this experience into success in graduate and law schools, diplomacy and foreign service, national security, academia, and major global companies.
In MUN, you don’t just study global affairs—you practice them. Each year, students represent a specific country at a National Model United Nations conference, taking on its policies and positions within the UN system. You’ll learn to research like an expert, think strategically, and communicate like a diplomat—all while engaging directly with the issues shaping our world now and into the future.
The MUN Practicum course for Fall Semester 2026 (GEOG 5755 - Model United Nations Practicum [Fall Semester MUN Team]) is scheduled for Fridays, 9 AM to 11:45 AM, at both the San Bernardino Campus and Palm Desert Campus of CSUSB with Dr. Kevin Grisham. The course will be open to both those students who have been selected for the 2026 CSUSB Spain Team.
Students who are interested in learning more about the inner workings of the UN and global issues and participating in the training of the CSUSB MUN teams but are not interested in serving on the CSUSB MUN team in Fall 2026 can enroll in the GEOG 5755 course via permit from Dr. Grisham. If interested in this possibility, please contact Dr. Grisham at kgrisham@csusb.edu.
