Peace and Conflict Studies is an inter-disciplinary program. What does that mean?
Scholars and practitioners attempt to understand the key issues in Peace and Conflict Studies from a variety of perspectives. The graduate program at UMass Lowell therefore allows students to select elective courses in disciplines such as Community Social Psychology, Criminal Justice, Economic and Social Development of Region, and Management. This method provides students the most comprehensive understanding of the causes of violence, the ways to resolve conflict, and strategies for building lasting peace. For full curriculum information, see the Graduate Catalog.
