The following PACS-related courses are offered by the participating departments and the Peace and Conflict Studies academic plans under their own designations. Many of the 300- and 400-level courses have specific prerequisites. Students planning to pursue study in these upper-level courses should use their electives wisely to ensure that the prerequisites for these courses are met. Additions or deletions may occur from time to time.
Where students find the list inadequate for their needs, students may petition the Peace and Conflict Studies Administration to have specific courses accepted as Peace and Conflict Studies Content Courses. This should happen before registration in the course in question is finalized. Please consult the Director for more details.
