Peace Studies Minor

Students may elect a minor in peace studies in combination with any major such as education, history, psychology, religion, women’s studies, the sciences, communications, or sociology. The minor is a valuable complement to any field because the broad range of skills and attitudes that it involves—attentive listening, interaction with and respect for others, cooperation, responsibility, negotiation, political engagement—are essential for quality personal, vocational, and civic lives.

 Twenty-four credit hours (7 courses) are required for the minor in peace studies, as follows:

In addition to the required courses above, the peace studies minor requires three 200-level elective peace studies courses, one 300-level peace studies course, and one capstone course.
