Program Summary

Take this program if you have a strong desire to not
only understand human conflict, but to help put an
end to the world’s needless suffering through viable
peace-based methods and practices.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The two-year Peace Studies Diploma emphasizes
building cultures of peace through interdisciplinary
study, conflict analysis and transformation and
service learning. Students also have the opportunity
to study internationally in PEAC 205: Global
Perspective in Peace: An Independent Studies
Course.

The global landscape is changing as individuals

and groups seek new ways to address conflict

that adheres to principles of nonviolence and
sustainability. In these exciting times, you can strive

hope and optimism by viewing situations from the
perspective of peace and justice.

Emphasizing peace from the interpersonal to the
international, this program combines courses

in humanities and social sciences and gives you
opportunities to engage in various service learning
experiences or in self-directed peace studies related
