Peace and conflict studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that aims to understand the causes of armed conflict; develop ways to prevent and resolve war, genocide, terrorism, gross violations of human rights; and build peaceful and just systems and societies. The peace and conflict studies concentration encourages students to explore the individual, local, national, and international dimensions of peace and conflict. How can we transform conflicts in our society and worldwide so that they generate development and justice rather than oppression and destruction? When is nonviolent struggle effective? When is violence justified? Students will investigate these questions and develop skills to wage peace.
Undergraduates may concentrate in peace and conflict studies to complement any major. Students may also design a major in peace and conflict studies via the University’s self-designed major. The concentration draws together the knowledge of several disciplines, including Chemistry, Comparative Literature, Economics, Education, English Literature, Environmental Studies, Geography, History, International Development and Social Change, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Screen Studies, Sociology, and Theatre.
Course work, research and internships enable students to apply their theoretical understanding of the issues of peace and conflict to situations in the U.S. and worldwide. Students who complete a concentration in peace and conflict studies are prepared to enter careers and graduate study in such fields as public policy, international development, labor relations, environment and ecology, and international relations, and to take an active role in shaping policies in the public sector and civil society.
