Peace and Justice Studies at UVSC takes an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of phenomena empirically and theoretically
associated with violence/nonviolence and injustice/justice. Four
areas of concentration are offered: 1) Peace, 2) Justice, 3)
Mediation and Conflict Resolution, 4) Philosophy and Religion.
Although organized into concentrations, the curricula must also
be approached in a way that disallows the student from studying
within one concentration only (note the accent on interdisciplinary).
Peace and nonviolence are investigated at multiple levels from
the realm of the personal and familial, to international structures,
conventions, institutions, and history. Likewise, justice and injustice
are interrogated across the same range of inquiry. Because matters
of peace and justice are of perennial- and perhaps growing concern,
students who earn a Peace and Justice Studies minor will
place themselves in a multi-faceted market of career opportunities
including law, social work, counseling, mediation and conflict
resolution, development, diplomacy, nonprofit management,
education, various forms of government employment, and more.
