Peace Studies Minor

In the May 1983 pastoral letter, “The Challenge of Peace: God’s Promise and Our Response,” the American bishops wrote: “We urge universities, particularly Catholic universities in our country to develop programs for rigorous, interdisciplinary research, education and training directed toward peacemaking expertise.”

As a response to this mandate, the College of Arts and Sciences offers an interdisciplinary minor in Peace Studies. The minimum grade of C is required in all courses.
