The Peace,
Justice, and Conflict Resolution Studies Minor
The Peace, Justice,
and Conflict Resolution Studies Minor at Winthrop
University is an interdisciplinary program that seeks to
provide students with the practical knowledge and the
theoretical background to help build more peaceful
societies. As such, this minor exposes students to war
and peace, conflict and conflict resolution, violence
and nonviolence. This minor exposes students to the root
causes of conflict at the familial, community, local,
state, national, and international levels and the social
and political movements that have led to the
transformation of those conflicts. This minor will
challenge students to explore the peaceful settlement of
disputes through a variety of disciplinary perspectives
and pedagogical approaches.
Career
This minor complements many majors on campus and will
help prepare students for graduate study in peace and
conflict resolution studies, for work in the nonprofit
