CTP - Master Level Programs

CJP's List of Master- and Doctoral-Level Programs in Peace
or Conflict Studies in the English Language

List #1 - fully developed departments | List #2 - others | On-line Courses | International

List #1: Universities in North America, characterized by these two criteria…

Fully developed departments with an integrated curriculum and full-time faculty with credentials pertaining to the peace or conflict field.
Students that form an interactive cohort and pursue more than half of their required credit hours at the home institution.

Note: These institutions represent a spectrum of approaches, from the pacifist, faith-based, practice-oriented program of Eastern Mennonite University to heavily theoretical programs oriented toward academic careers. Some of these institutions offer graduate certificates that require fewer credit hours than a master's degree. Programs largely run by law schools or military colleges are not included.

List #2: Universities that offer graduate peace programs in the English language but that do not fit the criteria for List #1.

These universities may offer peace studies under the umbrella of a related department. Some may offer students the option of piecing together their own peace program by taking relevant courses offered by various departments, such as political science, sociology, religion, and history.
