The Peace & Conflict Studies Center supports the Interdisciplinary Studies Department in offering an Associate of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies: Peace & Conflict Studies (PACS). Students in Peace & Conflict Studies will use the lenses offered by the arts, humanities, and physical and social\/behavioral sciences, to study conflict, human rights, and social justice. These courses thoughtfully interrogate the roles history, psychology, politics, society, and culture play in engendering conflict and its resolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through these various lenses, the overall focus of the degree program is to explore strategic, non-violent ways <\/span>to create equitable arrangements of power and resources in the interests of peaceful coexistence. PACS students gain professional experience through <\/span>PSYC 2389: Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution Internship<\/a><\/strong>, the required internship course, which combines the seminar format with hands-on application of these principles in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n
