Peace, Justice, and Conflict Resolution Studies

Peace Studies is an interdisciplinary program of study, building on existing course offerings in a range of departments, that incorporates both international peace and justice issues and, through internship opportunities with community-based agencies, local dimensions of conflict resolution. Students will combine core courses in Peace Studies with elective courses from departments across campus that share a common theme of peace, justice, and conflict resolution. This minor is coordinated by the Department of Social Work. For more information, contact the minor director, Dr. Tonya Ricklefs, Ph.D, LMSW, and see the “Interdisciplinary Academic Programs” section in the catalog.
