The Peace, Justice and Conflict Studies Program offers students a curriculum that is rooted in the values of restorative justice, principled and strategic nonviolence, and the common good and dignity of all, so that they can critically reflect on the origins of violence and gain resources for fruitful approaches to social change, community development, and healing.
The Peace, Justice and Conflict Studies Program provides a major, double major, and minor curriculum that helps students develop a more complete understanding of violence, conflict, and social injustice, from the roots of these issues to how their impact is felt across the world today. The program teaches students strategies for conflict resolution and peace-building, and emphasizes hands-on, experiential education and skills training throughout the curriculum. Students are encouraged to take part in internship and service opportunities that allow them to put those skills to use in practical settings.
