Students Speak Regarding Their Recent Trip to NYC to Investigate Issues of Iranian Democracy
Peace and Justice Studies at UVU takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of phenomena empirically and theoretically associated with violence/nonviolence and injustice/justice.
Four area of concentration are offered: 1) Peace, 2) Justice, 3) Mediation and Conflict Resolution, 4) Philosophy and Religion. Although organized into concentrations, the curricula must also be approached in a way that disallows the student from studying within one concentration only (note the accent on interdisciplinary). Peace and nonviolence are investigated at multiple levels from the realm of the personal and familial, to international structures, conventions, institutions, and history. Likewise, justice and injustice are interrogated across the same range of inquiry. Because matters of peace and justice are of perennial- and perhaps growing concern, students who earn a Peace and Justice Studies minor will place themselves in a multi-faceted market or career opportunities including law, social work, counseling, mediation and conflict resolution, development, diplomacy, nonprofit management, education, various forms of government employment, and more.
