School of Arts

Manhattan College offers Peace Studies as a major or minor field of study leading to the B.A. degree, and as a Certificate program for those who have already earned a bachelor's degree. Many students interested in Peace Studies pair it with another academic discipline, and complete a double major. Peace Studies is housed in the School of Arts, but is also available as a minor for the students in the School of Science, Business, and Engineering, and as a second concentration in the School of Education.

Requirements:

Students wishing to major in Peace Studies must take 30 credits in three categories: seminars 201 and 401 (six credits); elective courses (twenty-one credits); field work (three or six credits). In the senior year a thesis is encouraged through the completion of Peace Studies 422. Students minoring in Peace Studies must take 15 credits, chosen under the advisement of the Director. For a certificate in Peace Studies, a student must take 15 credits, chosen in consultation with the Director. A minimum grade of C is required for course credit toward the major or minor.
