| Peace Studies, Briar Cliff College | Report Error | | Geographical Location: Minor | | Degrees Offered: Sioux City, Iowa, USA | | Description: 'Students who select Peace Studies as a minor participate in an integrated course of study which offers a wholistic perspective on the world’s cultures, societies and individuals. In their pastoral letter, The Challenge of Peace, U.S. Catholic bishops encouraged the establishment of “educational programs to sensitize Christians at all levels to issues of war and peace.” Both hopeful and tragic events occurring since the end of the “cold war” and the beginning of a “new world order” underscore the importance of the bishops’ mandate. Students who seek to understand the persistence of war and the possibilities for peace in this new era may choose the interdepartmental minor in Peace Studies.
The program offers courses from a cross-section of disciplines. Students may choose designated courses in economics, health and physical education, history, literature, philosophy, sociology and theology. The classes reflect several areas of emphasis: international political and economic relations, philosophical and moral issues of war and peace, and processes of small- and large-scale conflict management.
The Peace Studies minor is particularly useful for students who are preparing for careers in international business, foreign service, economic development, negotiation and mediation services, pastoral ministry, social work, criminal justice or social change.' | | http://www.briarcliff.edu/major | Date Added: 12/6/2003 |

The Peace Studies Program at UNT is unique in that there are no other programs in Texas or the Southwest offering an undergraduate major or minor in Peace Studies.

| Peace, Conflict, and Global Studies, Northland College | Report Error | | Geographical Location: Ashland, Wisconsin, USA | | Degrees Offered: Major | | Description: 'Peace, Conflict, and Global Studies is a broad, interdisciplinary major drawing on the social sciences, humanities, and environmental studies for its core content and conceptual framework. The field of Peace Studies has been developing for more than 30 years, and Northland College developed the major in 1985, the first in Wisconsin.

| Peace, War, and Diplomacy Studies, Norwich University | Report Error | | Geographical Location: Northfield, Vermont, USA | | Degrees Offered: B.A. Program in Peace, War and Diplomacy Studies | | Description: 'The purpose of a baccalaureate program in Peace, War, and Diplomacy Studies is to offer an opportunity to examine, within a liberal and humanistic framework, the origins and development of military institutions and the impact of those institutions upon the social order. Intellectually, the program is intended to promote critical analysis of phenomena relating to military and diplomatic affairs. Practically, the program is especially intended to help prepare students for a career in government service or for entry into graduate or professional school. Professional military training is not a requisite part of this curriculum. Rather, this academic program aims at providing an interdisciplinary examination of the enduring and close interconnections among military, political, economic, and social institutions. The creation of a program in Peace, War, and Diplomacy Studies at Norwich University, an institution which has long combined the best assets of a liberal education and military training, can be viewed as an extension of a venerable tradition of producing educated citizens who are prepared for their civilian pursuits and who are knowledgeable about diplomatic and military affairs.' | | http://www.norwich.edu/socsci/p | Date Added: 11/30/2003 |
