Bachelor of Arts in Peace and Justice Studies

Program Overview

Peace and Justice Studies is the academic program that embodies Manhattan College’s Lasallian commitment to advancing social justice. Manhattan College has one of the oldest peace and justice studies programs in the United States. The first Peace and Justice Studies course was offered in 1966, and the Peace and Justice Studies major was established in 1971.

Why Choose Peace and Justice Studies?
You will understand and evaluate structural injustice, the aspects of human nature that lead to violence and war, and the work of social movements that seek to realize peace, nonviolence, and social justice. You will be able to take courses from across an array of disciplines in the Schools of Liberal Arts, Business, and the Sciences, and so develop an interdisciplinary, and thus profound and complete understanding of these issues. The program prioritizes rigorous training in critical thinking and research, practical peacebuilding skills, and experiential learning in the form of internships and community-engaged courses.

What Will You Do?
Students graduate from the Peace and Justice Studies program with a broad, interdisciplinary knowledge of issues related to peace, conflict and war, human rights and social justice, as well as advanced critical thinking, peacebuilding and research skills. Our students are thus prepared for a wide array of professions, as well as for advanced study in many disciplines and professional schools.
