Students interested in Other Courses Recommended for Minor/Major study:
the program may design and pursue an Individualized Curriculum Program (ICP) in consultation with program directors .Currently, Peace and Conflict Studies has an approved ICP that allows interested students to pursue coursework in areas of Global and Regional Studies, Communications and Dispute Resolution, and Peace Strategies. The ICP offers the possibility of a comprehensive and focused major and is especially useful to students considering graduate studies, or employment with non-profit organizations that need individuals with appropriate background in conflict resolution and cross-cultural knowledge and skills.
