Undergraduate Program

Student organizers of the 2010 Undergraduate Peace Conference. The annual conference is planned and directed entirely by undergraduate peace studies students.

The number of Notre Dame undergraduates who choose peace studies as a major or minor has more than doubled in recent years – from fewer than 100 students in the 2003-04 academic year to 244 in the 2008-09 academic year. The program attracts highly accomplished students who are very enthusiastic about their classes and about making a difference in the world. 

Peace studies undergraduates conduct research, organize and run their own peace conference every year, and are active in peacebuilding projects on campus and worldwide.
