Master of Arts in Peace and Justice Studies
The Master of Arts in Peace & Justice Studies is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing ethics, international affairs, and conflict resolution. The goals of the program are: to produce graduates who will be capable of relating disciplinary and cross-disciplinary theories of peace and justice to real world problem-solving involving regional and international conflict; to foster scholarly agendas that examine the dynamics of justice and peace-building across multi-level conflicts; and, to facilitate faculty and student interaction and development across disciplines and academic units at USD, along with outreach to the community and the larger society. The program takes full advantage of the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice and the Trans-Border Institute on the campus of the University
