Master of Sustainable Peacebuilding

Program Overview

The College of Nursing offers an interdisciplinary professional graduate degree program leading to a Master of Sustainable Peacebuilding (MSP). The MSP is designed to prepare students for careers in peacebuilding—e.g. international development, conflict resolution, resource stewardship. The MSP curriculum is designed to develop student expertise in systems thinking, social-ecological interactions, and the application of such concepts to peacebuilding and development fields. In addition to fulfilling all Graduate School master’s degree requirements, MSP students are required to take 44 credits over the course of six semesters—two full calendar years. Only full-time students will be accepted to the program.

Students completing the MSP will:

Classify the various components of complex social-ecological systems and identify appropriate intervention strategies.
Recognize patterns of human-environment interaction, including drivers of change resulting in conflict, development, and peacebuilding.
Acquire critical knowledge across at least four distinct disciplines relevant to development and peacebuilding and relate and translate knowledge among the disciplines.
Facilitate effective group problem-solving processes, which includes communicating confidently and effectively to diverse audiences.
Assess systemic outcomes of peacebuilding programs and policies and recommend adaptive modifications for improvement.
