ACADEMY of HOLISTIC HEALTH and HUMAN SERVICES

Certificate in Peace Studies

As an academic program, Peace Studies draws from a variety of disciplines that address the issues of peace, violence, conflict or cooperation in communities and cultures. The interdisciplinary nature of the program enables a student to pursue the concepts and realities of peace, war, and violence from a variety of perspectives: strategies of transition to global cooperation; theories and practices of conflict resolution; non-violent methods to implement social change; economics of war and peace; images of peace and violence in philosophy, literature and the arts; history of pacifism and non-violent resistance; and the nature of global and local conflict related to the environment and natural resources.
