Do you want to have a career that makes a difference?  Possibly work for an NGO or at the United Nations?  We found an academic field that could help you really make a difference in the world – Peace Studies.  In Peace Studies, students study issues related to justice, human rights, conflict resolution, security and peace. They examine the causes of war and other forms of violence, ways to resolve conflicts and what is necessary to create peace in the world, including human rights and social justice.  The Matsunaga Institute for Peace at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa offers a Bachelor of Arts in Peace and Conflict Resolution where students can explore this discipline.

There are only three required courses in the program:

- Survey Peace Conflict Studies
- Mediation Skills: UH Basic
- Practicum Internship

With the exception of three required courses, students are free to design their own program with the guidance of faculty advisors.  Any what better place to study peace than in Hawaii?
