Peace and Justice Requirements

Peace and Justice is an interdisciplinary field of study which includes courses from a wide variety of academic areas.  The Peace and Justice academic minor will consist of six courses:  an introductory course, a senior culminating course, two courses chosen from one of the three areas below, and two other courses chosen by the student with the approval of a Peace and Justice advisor.  The introuductory course, PJ 200, Introduction to Peace and Justice, creates a framework for the other courses in the minor and, as such, should normally be taken no later than the student's sophomore year and before other courses in the program.  The minor includes an experiential component, such as the St. Lucia, Cuernavaca, Appalachia, Mississippi, or Chicago immersions, or a local internship or a semester-long commitment to a social service project or agency.  A minimum of forty hours of approved and monitored field experience will be required.  During this experience students will maintain a personal journal which will eventually be integrated into their senior papers as part of their capstone course in the minor.
