The Peace and Justice Studies Program offers an analysis of
conditions that lead to war, violence and injustice as well as
opportunities to develop a vision for a peaceful and just society and an
appreciation of how one can contribute towards that goal. Ranging from
the local to the global levels, the classes enable students to examine
impediments to peace and justice-such as militarism, repression,
violence, racism, sexism, underdevelopment and environmental decay-as
well as ideas, strategies, social movements, and theological and
philosophical approaches that seek to build a just and peaceful society.
Students must also complete an internship with any of a wide range of
peace and human rights groups in the Bay Area or beyond.
