<p>Does UCLA offer a class dealing with CIA, espionage, foreign intelligence, cold war, etc...</p>
<p>I'm taking the 60's cluster to get a little bit of it with the cold war, but I was wondering if there was actually a class centered around these subjects,... preferably a GE.</p>
<p>Check the political science department. Prof. Anderson worked for the CIA during the Cold War… you can take a class with him and just talk to him about it. He’s pretty cool.</p>
<p>Political Science Department:
M120C. U.S. Intelligence Agencies in Theory and Practice
Description:
(Same as Public Policy M118.) Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Limited to juniors/seniors. Examination of U.S. intelligence agencies from Cold War to present. Particularly in light of 9/11 and Iraq war, few organizations are more important and less understood. Course separates fact from fiction, comparing how intelligence agencies are portrayed in popular entertainment to how they operate in practice. Fundamentals of intelligence collection (from satellites to spies) and analytic tradecraft; key challenges such as role of ethics in intelligence; performance of U.S. intelligence agencies during Cold War; and intelligence community’s ability to adapt to rise of terrorism. Application of general concepts to specific case studies of Cuban missile crisis, 2003 Iraq war, and September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Letter grading.</p>

<p>turns out that’s an upper div class, but there are no prereqs. It was offered Winter Quarter 09, so I’m guessing it will be offered this Winter too (unless budget cuts mess it up, but I doubt it).</p>
