Peace and Justice Studies
The global problems of war, violence, oppression
and inequality are problems the human community can no longer afford
to ignore. If peace is desired, justice must first pave the way.
But how can this justice be achieved? The Peace & Justice Studies
Concentration enables students to ask this question and challenges
them in their pursuit of the answers. Through interdisciplinary
study, students in this concentration will examine the cases and
causes of injustice that lead to conflict and will become aware
of the conditions necessary to promote peace in the world.
This concentration is designed to prepare students for careers
primarily in International Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) that require competency
in working with and understanding people from diverse backgrounds.
