The GW Peace Studies Program encourages students to unpack the multiple meanings of peace, the relationship between peace and conflict and the role of peace on local and global levels. Through major and minor programs, students learn about peace in its philosophical and religious dimensions, as an important aspect of international affairs and as a vital part of social, economic and environmental justice.
Located in the international policy center of Washington, D.C., the Peace Studies Program offers access to internship opportunities and pathways to successful careers in policy, law, health, social work, advocacy and much more.
