DePaul Peace, Justice & Conflict Studies

DePaul Peace, Justice & Conflict Studies PAX provides the skills to reflect on violence, & do non-violent social change & conflict resolution.

The Peace, Justice, & Conflict Studies Program offers students a B.A. major curriculum that helps them reflect on the origins and causes of conflict, violence, and social injustice as well as the wide spectrum of conflict intervention, from armed conflict, through governmental and organizational peacebuilding, to local and interpersonal conflict resolution. The Program also introduces students to

strategies for resolving interpersonal, communal and international conflicts peacefully, as well as tactics that promote the common good in a way that addresses the structural origins of violence. The Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies Program addresses the need for a critical examination of the origins and root causes of violence and conflict. The Program includes frank debate about the efficacy of nonviolent in comparison with violent approaches to social change. The inclusion of conflict theory and intervention as part of this program is a distinctive aspect of this program; the arena of conflict resolution offers many potential career options. The Program emphasizes hands-on, experiential components in the introductory course, the final seminar/internship and the workshops which emphasize skill training.
