Peace and Conflict Studies Minor
Peace and conflict studies is an interdisciplinary area of study that emerged in the post-World War II era that seeks to promote a greater understanding of causes of war and ways of resolving conflicts without resorting to violence.
The goals of the minor are to expose students to the nature of contemporary conflicts, increase awareness about the practices and philosophies that guide peacemaking, and to help students develop a critical understanding of policies and values about conflict, war, and peace. The minor is composed of six courses, as well as either an experiential learning component or a senior capstone project. Minors are encouraged to meet with the program advisor prior to the second semester of their sophomore year to develop a coherent course of study.
