Turn your empathy into action. Today’s turbulent times call for people who understand systems of violence and conflict, and who are prepared to build peace with justice. As a student in the Faculty of Arts, you’ll bring a unique perspective and set of skills to peace and conflict studies. Your creativity, critical thinking, and compassion can help contribute to finding innovative solutions to the challenges of peacebuilding and conflict resolution. Choose courses from a variety of subjects to tailor your program towards your own areas of curiosity. You’ll build your community through small classes and engaged professors. Explore the theory and practice of conflict resolution, human rights, and international development. Then get some first hand experience through paid co op work terms or a Peace and Conflict Studies internship. By graduation, you’ll understand the factors that drive conflict and violence and know how conflict zones can move toward becoming healthy societies where communities and individual people flourish.
