Notre Dame's undergraduate program in peace studies attracts highly accomplished students. Because undergraduate peace studies is a supplementary major, its students also major in other fields ranging from political science to business, anthropology, biology, history, and liberal studies.
Each year, up to 20 students from around the world enroll in the master's program at the Kroc Institute to be educated in peace studies and trained as scholar-practitioners in peacebuilding. After one year of intensive classroom learning, most master's students dedicate five months of their second year to internships at field sites around the world. They return to Notre Dame for their last semester to integrate peacebuilding theory and practice in a capstone course and master’s project. Meet the class of 2010 »
