Peace Studies Minor ~ Home

Peace has proven an illusive objective throughout the history of humans, and the challenges of creating and maintaining peaceful relations have never been greater than in our world today. We've learned through the years that creating and sustaining peace, whether domestic or international, requires a particular set of skills and understandings. Skills in conflict management and nonviolence. Understanding of feminist theory, religion, history, and conflict itself. The CSUMB Peace Minor builds these skills and understandings.

Anyone going into a profession dealing with people will benefit from the minor. Teachers seeking peace in the classroom while teaching peace skills and understandings to their own students. Local leaders working toward mending divides in communities. International entrepreneurs building businesses to serve multiple countries. Creative professionals telling the stories of cultures through art, poetry, music. Foreign affairs professionals and nonprofit workers engaged in post-conflict work.
