Minor in Peace Studies
The 18-credit Minor in Peace Studies builds on a foundation of peace and conflict studies with interdisciplinary coursework in philosophy, religion, anthropology, history, political science, economics and more. Students in the minor also complete a capstone project, which combines practical experience with critical reading and reflection.
The Peace Studies minor can complement virtually any major or minor, ranging from American studies to public health.
Coursework
In addition to a core peace studies course, students in the minor must pass (C- or higher) at least one course from each of the three focus areas:
- Philosophical and Religious Approaches to Peace
- International Peace and Conflict
- Social, Economic and Environmental Justice
