About the course

The Peacebuilding concentration prepares students who complete it to contribute to the development of more peaceful societies at the local, national, regional and global levels. Peacebuilding, as taught at the Center for Global Affairs, emphasizes the improvement and repair of relationships, ranging from state-level relations to those at the community level. Peacebuilding distinguishes itself from traditional fields such as conflict resolution and conflict management because it seeks primarily to address the underlying causes of violent conflict through processes of conflict transformation. The concentration focuses on the development of knowledge and skills needed to build more peaceful societies from a variety of platforms including governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as the private sector. The concentration's signature course -- the Workshop in Applied Peacebuilding -- offers students the opportunity to develop a project in collaboration with a professional peacebuilding organization during the spring semester and then to implement it in the field during the summer. Students in the Peacebuilding concentration are required to take the first course listed below. Students must then select five concentration elective courses (3 credits each) that are offered on a regular basis. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
